Senator’s Mission: $5,000 and 1,500 Pounds

Sen. Mike Gabbard is sponsoring an 11-week competition between senators’ offices to raise a goal of $5,000 and 1,500 pounds of food for Hawai`i Foodbank. Gabbard raised $510 today in just one hour by hosting a salad bar fundraiser in his office.

Senators and their staff paid $5 for the fundraiser plates, which were quickly bought out. At left is Sen. Clayton Hee.
