Would you round up your grocery bill to help a family's holiday meal?
Foodland and The Salvation Army have launched the Share a Holiday Feast program for November and December 2026, letting shoppers donate at participating stores statewide. Funds raised are distributed locally through The Salvation Army corps community centers to help families in need.
Why it matters
The program aims to help local families put a holiday meal on the table during the holiday season. Donations are collected at the register while shoppers buy their own groceries, making giving simple for customers across Hawaii.
Shoppers can give in $5, $10, or $20 increments, or 250 Maika'i points ($5), with a $20 gift providing a family a turkey and holiday fixings. The total raised and number of families served have not yet been reported.

Shoppers can add a $5, $10, or $20 donation at checkout or through an online grocery order without a separate trip. A $20 gift covers a turkey and holiday fixings for a family in need.
The takeaway
Adding a small donation at the register during your regular grocery trip can help put a holiday meal on a neighbor's table. Check the participating store list before your next visit.
