During the 53rd Annual Father’s Day Breakfast, Hawaii Lions Club said it served more than 4,000 breakfast meals Sunday, in one of the state’s largest drive-thru events.

Those 4,000 meals included 8,000 eggs, 20,000 Portuguese-sausage slices and 8,000 scoops of fried rice, organizers said.

More than 200 of the meals also went to the Institute for Human Services.

Hawaii Lion District Gov. Sean Benitio has been part of the event for four years, but his first out front, “seeing everybody… wishing us happy Father’s Day.”

“I grew up not in a rich family, like a pretty poor family. We didn’t know where our next meals were coming from, and so seeing the Lions Club and the effects that we have on our community itself really hits my heart,” he said.

Hawaii Lions said proceeds will support Kaiser High School’s meal program, vision and hearing screenings, youth programs and the Annual Hawaii Kai Christmas Parade.

Hawaii Lions is also celebrating its 100th year of service in Hawaii, with a celebration on Friday, Oct. 16.
