Community Resources

Community-based organizations are foundational to the communities that they support.  They seek to build relationships and connections to the people, to the places, to the `āina that supports and feed us, and to the systems that keep their places in balance.  They are one of the key pieces to building deep pilina, relationships and aloha for the places in which we live.  We also believe that they are instrumental to building a sense of total well being.  Our greatest appreciation goes out to each and every one of these organizations that support resilient, thriving communities--mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!

**To the community, educators, and `ohana:  there are many organizations doing incredible Aloha `Āina work at this time.  This page will share these community-based resources with you.  And let's remember that we all have a kuleana to mālama, care for, and serve the `āina for it is an integral part of our `ohana.  Please share with us, additional resources, community partners that you would like to share with us--mahalo nui loa.  E pūpūkahi i holomua (Pūku`i).  Let’s move forward, united, together!  `A`ohe hana nui ke `alu `ia (Pūku`i, 142).  There is no task too big when done together by all.
