Students thank every donor to Meals with a Mission<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Students at Windward Community College<\/a> extended a heartfelt mahalo to all after the Meals with a Mission crowdfunding campaign<\/a>, created in partnership with UH Foundation, recently exceeded its goal of $25,000.<\/p>\n

Meals with a Mission was created in August 2020 to combat food insecurity and promote student success. During the fall 2020 semester, Chef Dan Swift<\/strong> and the Uala Leaf Caf\u00e9 staff at Windward CC<\/abbr> prepared thousands of free meals and served hundreds of students. In November 2020, to help to encourage more donations, Professor Emerita Jacquie Maly<\/strong> issued a challenge to encourage donations, offering to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

“Students will be better prepared to achieve their goals with the support from Meals with a Mission,” said Maly.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to feed as many students as possible throughout the semester and year, so they can focus on their studies, not their hunger,” said Swift.<\/p>\n

Windward CC<\/abbr> student Kimo Adams<\/strong> added, “We hope that these Meals with a Mission will continue so that we will be healthy and that we will be able to continue to move forward with our education here at Windward Community College.”<\/p>\n

To donate to the Meals with a Mission food program, contact Chancellor Ardis Eschenberg<\/strong> at ardise@hawaii.edu<\/a> or (808) 235-7402. Donations may also be made online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
