SECTION 1. Findings and purpose. The Food Basket, Inc. serving as Hawai`i Island's Food
Bank is an island -wide non - profit food network that collects and distributes nutritious food to
low income families, the ill and disabled, senior citizens, children's programs and other
charitable non - profit organizations.
The Food Basket has determined that 26.6% of all children under the age of 18 residing in the
County do not know from where and when their next meal is coming and that 20% of the County
residents use the Food Basket on a continuous basis. The current demand for food has caused an
emergency shortfall in food supplies at the Food Basket's two warehouses.
Medical personnel and agencies attest that the lack of adequate and nutritious food resources for
families and individuals result in an increasing impact on already strained medical facilities and
services placing additional burdens on taxpayers
The Food Basket Inc. is an organization whose programs yield direct benefits to the public and
accomplish public purposes, as set forth in Chapter 2, Article 25, Section 2 -137, Hawai`i County
Code 1983 (2005 Edition, as amended).

amended) to The Food Basket, Inc.
