The Food Basket has provided hunger relief to those in need on the Big Island since 1989.

The Rotary clubs of East Hawaii are offering the community the opportunity to help Hawaii Island’s food bank continue that mission.

The Rotary Rice Drive is slated for 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, May 11, at KTA Puainako in Hilo.

Rotary members will be accepting bags of rice or monetary donations that will benefit The Food Basket.
