Help Foodbank through Longs
Donation coupons for the Hawaii Foodbank - a familiar sight in grocery store checkout lines during the holidays - make a summertime appearance at Longs Drug Stores beginning Sunday.
In a partnership with Kraft Foods, Longs is launching "Hunger Never Takes a Vacation," a fundraising campaign for the food bank that runs through Aug. 30. Kraft is kicking things off with a $5,000 donation.
To participate, simply pick up a bright orange coupon in the checkout line at Longs - choose $5 or $10 - and hand it to the cashier. The amount will be added to the total of your purchases.
Funds raised will support the food bank's efforts to collect and distribute food to 250 charities on Oahu that serve needy individuals and families. The organization also assists neighbor-island food banks. Call 836-3600, ext. 226.
