Over 250 pizzas airlifted to help feed Kauai after Hurricane Lowell
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Salvation Army Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Division and its partners airlifted several helicopters full of more than 250 pizzas Thursday to help those in Kauai refuge shelters after Hurricane Lowell. The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) partnered with Domino’s Hawaii and Rainbow Helicopters to airlift the food for a mass feeding distribution on Kauai in designated refuge centers between Kapaa and Waimea. The nonprofit said the 255 pizzas were enough to feed 1,000 people on the island who are dealing with the widespread destruction and power outages across Kauai. “To have partners that are willing to step in and really do whatever it takes to meet the needs of the community, Domino’s Hawaii and Rainbow Helicopters didn’t skip a beat,” said Salvation Army’s corporate relations director Heather Wong.
