Kokua Tree, a high school nonprofit organization, was founded with goals of reducing food waste and insecurity in Hawaii. In Hawaii, 1 in 3 households are impacted by food insecurity, making it a prevalent issue in our local community. In the past three years, they have donated a market value of over $14,000 of fruits, and reduced carbon dioxide waste by nearly 10,000 pounds.
The grant from Malama Pacific Foundation will be used to continue their efforts of providing fresh produce and nutritious meals to the community. The expanding organization also includes students from all over the island of Oahu, naturally requiring the purchase of more equipment such as fruit pickers and scales. We hope that this will allow them to continue positively impacting the Hawaii community and inspiring others to make a difference.
