HONOLULU -- Aloha Petroleum Ltd. recently donated $3,821.50 to Aloha Harvest to support the organization's efforts to feed the hungry in Hawaii. The company matched the funds raised through its canister collection program at statewide participating Aloha Island Mart stores in August.
"Aloha Petroleum has some of the most generous customers around, which is demonstrated by their continued giving to deserving nonprofit organizations through our in-store canister collection program," said Gary Altman, general manager of company-operated stores for Aloha Petroleum. "We're so pleased we could match the funds raised to support the important role that Aloha Harvest plays in providing quality food to the thousands of residents in our community who face hunger each day."
Aloha Harvest is a non-profit organization that rescues donated food and delivers it "free of charge" to social service agencies feeding the hungry in Hawaii. Since its founding 14 years ago, Aloha Harvest has rescued and distributed more than 13.1 million pounds of food donated by more than 875 participating restaurants, caterers, government facilities, hotels, food distributors, businesses and others.
Aloha Petroleum has used its collection canister program to support dozens of non-profit organizations including the March of Dimes, American Heart Association and the American Red Cross.
