A Kaua‘i food bank wants to make the holidays brighter — and fill tables — for people in need.

The Kaua‘i Independent Food Bank’s holiday food drive will run Nov. 1-Dec. 31. Monetary donations and donations of perishable and non-perishable food can be dropped off at any county fire station and at the food bank’s warehouse in Nāwiliwili.

The food bank hopes to raise $50,000 and 50,000 pounds of food to help those who struggle to make ends meet, wondering from where their next meal will come.
