Legislature recognizes Chad Buck

Rep. John Mizuno yesterday presented a certificate of appreciation to Chad Buck, president of the Hawaii Food Service Alliance, one of the state's largest distributors of bakery and dairy products. Buck donated 10,000 gallons of fresh milk to the Hawaii Food Bank. Since 2002, Buck has donated over 200,000 lbs of food to the food bank, making him the largest individual donor to the organization.

Buck's generosity is inspired by his past. Twenty five years ago, Buck was a teenage father of three children working three jobs to put food on the table. He vowed never to go hungry again, and to one day help others who had trouble feeding their families.
