Company Description

Aloha Harvest is the largest food rescue nonprofit in the state of Hawaiʻi. Seven days a week, free of charge and free of liability, we rescue quality excess food from donors (ex: wholesale distributors, grocery stores, restaurants, hotels) and redistribute it to recipient agencies feeding the hungry (ex: homeless shelters, social services, food pantries).

We have been doing this work for over 21 years and represent the largest and most successful collaboration between businesses and nonprofits in the state. In 2020, we worked with 360 food donors and 273 recipient agencies to redistribute over 2.7 million pounds of good food that would have otherwise been wasted!

This work is essential because even while 1 in 5 people in Hawaiʻi rely on food pantries for assistance, about 26% of the local food supply (237,000 tons of good food) is wasted annually. We are based on and currently only serve Oʻahu.
