Kraft Foods Hawaii and the Hawaii Foodbank are kicking off the 15th Annual Check-Out Hunger Campaign.

This year the campaign will be featured at Safeway stores statewide, Times Supermarkets, Tamura's Markets, Shima's Market, and Kokua Natural Foods Co-op. Last year the campaign generated over $140,000 to help feed Hawaii's hungry. This year's campaign started with the check presentation at the Kapahulu Safeway Store.
