Why I thought Hawaii was a very poor state in the U.S.

According to Hawaii Foodbank, it "provides food to 183,500 different people each year, including 55,000 children. In Hawaii, 1 in 7 people are in need of food assistance."

The foodbank is very effective at collecting donations. For example, they print ticket-like coupons of three different face values, and place them at supermarket check-out counters during holiday seasons. When you are purchasing food to feed your loved ones at home, how could you down down a small request, such as "$x will provide a child breakfast for a week"?
