Honokaʻa anchors food assistance for the Hāmākua Coast: the Salvation Army corps on Rickard Place runs a twice-weekly morning pantry, and the Honokaʻa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple's Feeding Our Keiki and Kupuna program serves free community meals. The Food Basket — Hawaiʻi Island's food bank — publishes Hāmākua district distribution schedules for everything in between.
