Service area

Oahu,Hawaii (Big Island),Maui,Kauai
(Our Kupuna, Hawaii VA Foundation) The program connects each low-income homebound kupuna with a sponsor (a community volunteer who shops for and delivers groceries, medication and necessary supplies to the kupuna's home every 2 weeks). The kupuna pays for the groceries that the volunteer delivers. The volunteer does not enter the kupuna's home. Inquire about other islands in the service area.

Providing organization

Hawaii VA Foundation
We envision a Hawaii where all kupuna (elders) have food security, access to their essentials, and are kakoo (supported) by nui kaiaulu (the greater community).
