Hawaiʻi Food Industry Magazine - Winter 2023–24

Our guests from Hawaii, the US mainland, Japan, and Guam also answered the call to donate to the Maui Food Bank. Together with ITO EN’s matching contribution we raised $27,500 to help stock the shelves of the Maui Food Bank!

Total donations to Maui with much heartfelt aloha = $104,500! Mahalo to our customers and business partners for supporting the local community! This would not have been possible without you!
