Food Assistance

Food Assistance for Military Families

It is estimated that more than 25% of active-duty military families and 10% of veteran families in our area need assistance with food.

The ASYMCA Marketplace helps to combat this issue in the community we serve. This program helps military families worry less about food and focus on mission readiness.

Program Overview

The ASYMCA Marketplace provides no-cost food assistance to active duty, guard, and reserve service members and their dependents in need of food assistance. DoD-contracted civilians who are employed with DoD support programs may access the ASYMCA Marketplaces on behalf of service members.

  • To access the ASYMCA Marketplace, please visit one of the locations listed below during business hours.
  • Appointments are available and walk-ins are welcome.
  • Proof of military affiliation is required to access the Pantry.

Hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 3:00pm at all ASYMCA Hawai`i locations. No appointment is necessary. If you need to visit outside of these hours, please let us know. We’re happy to make arrangements with you.

A valid military ID is required at pick-up.
