Free lunch for North and South Kohala kids

Kona Pacific Public Charter School, along with our program volunteers, will be serving lunch to children ages 0-18 all summer long through the Summer Food Service Program.

Kona Pacific Public Charter School, the Hawaii Island leader in school and community nutrition programs, is participating in the 2019 Summer Food Service Program, with the assistance of volunteers. This program is Hawaii’s first and only mobile summer lunch program, and has served more than 32,000 lunches since 2015, the first year of the program.

The summer lunch program is also sponsored by the Hawaii Office of Child Nutrition Programs and the Walmart Foundation.

Many community partners have stepped up to help fight childhood hunger over the summer of 2019. These Summer Food Service partners include the management of Jack Hall, Kaimalino, La‘ilani, Kamakani, Ulu Wini, Lokahi Ka‘u and Kahalu‘u affordable apartments in Kailua-Kona, the youth program managers of Keauhou and Keoua Honaunau canoe clubs, and the summer program coordinators at Hookena School.

Meals will be provided to all children under age 18 without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. There will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
