partnering with organizations such as the Hawaii Foodbank and Feeding
America, we provide much-needed food to hungry people in need not
only in Hawaii but also throughout the United States,” said Stacy Cobb.

Hawaii Foodbank President Gerald Shintaku stated, “We're just so
grateful to Kraft, to our retail partners, and to the people of Hawaii who
step it up every year and contribute. One day we’ll hopefully see hunger
come to an end where we don’t need a Check-Out Hunger campaign
anymore. Kraft and the people of Hawaii make that goal a possibility."

Thank you all for another successful Kraft Check-Out Hunger Campaign!
