T-Mobile announced the latest recipients of the company’s Difference Maker program, providing $10,000 each to five nonprofit organizations in Hawaii and Washington that are making a difference in their communities. Maui Food Bank and Maui Strong Foundation are both recipients of this donation.

Maui Food Bank is on a mission to help the hungry in Maui County by collecting and distributing food through community partnerships, distributing over 4.5 million pounds of safe, nutritious food each year, including 800,000 pounds of fresh produce.   

“Words cannot fully express the significance of T-Mobile’s kindness and generosity towards helping the hungry in Maui County. Since the fires, T-Mobile’s gift of $10,000 has significantly helped Maui Food Bank distribute over four million pounds of food, including 600,000 pounds of fresh produce. We are deeply grateful for T-Mobile’s contribution in providing hunger relief to those in need,” said Marlene Rice, Development Director, Maui Food Bank.
