On Wednesday 20 July 2016, members of the CGC MORGENTHAU (WHEC 722) volunteered at the Feeding Hawaii Together food
bank to help serve locals in need. We lent a hand in a myriad of ways, from
installing vital ventilation and organizing supplies, to checking in
members with valid identification and helping shoppers pick out the
necessities. The
compassionate staff was full of smiles and grateful for
the extra help from the men and women in blue.
The local non-profit has been helping Honolulu since
2002. The food
distribution center is operated like a supermarket, where
patrons may choose from a large selection of perishable and non-perishable
groceries. This style of distribution not only feeds entire families, but
also helps them to build confidence, become more self-sufficient, eat
healthier, and retain their dignity. All the products are donated and go to the
public free of charge. Once a week qualified individuals can stock up on
all the living necessities; including food, clothing, furniture, and
school supplies. These essentials keep the community thriving in an increasingly
expensive city to live.
