In observance of National Drug Court Month, Big Island Drug Court is hosting a food drive for the Food Basket from 2:30-4:30 p.m. today at the Puainako KTA Super Store.
Nonperishable items will be collected for the Food Basket, Hawaii Island’s food bank, which will distribute a portion of the contributions to the people in Puna affected by the recent volcanic activity.
