This incredible donation from the HFS Federal Credit Union will be used directly to buy food for our island neighbors in need this holiday season, keeping food on the tables of those most suffering. It helps us do that,” said Christine Frost-Albrecht, executive director of the nonprofit. food bank. “Our warmest Mahalo goes out to the HFS Federal Credit Union staff and their members for their extraordinary generosity and for providing essential food relief to brighten up this season for so many in our Big Island community. Thank you for having me.”
