Mana Foods is proud to support various local non-profit organizations through our Bag Credit Program, and during he Month of October we’ll be raising money for Maui Huliau Foundation (A Local 501(C)(3) Non-Profit).
Every month, Mana Foods donates to different organizations. It’s really easy: whenever you bring your own grocery bag to Mana Foods, you receive a bag credit. You can donate this or take it off your bill. We felt inspired to dedicate the month of October to Maui Huliau Foundation and hope the following inspires you as well!
Maui Huliau Foundation was founded in 2010 by Malia Cahill with a mission to promote environmental literacy and leadership among Maui’s youth through community-based educational experiences.
“My hope is that we can help build a new generation of young leaders who understand the environmental issues we're facing, and have the skills and inspiration to work together towards innovative solutions. It’s all about empowering them to realize that they can make a difference and that it can be a very rewarding and exciting experience to work together on innovative solutions.” -Cahill
Maui Huliau’s largest program is the Huliau Environmental Filmmaking Club… “Now entering its 15th year, our filmmaking club is our longest-running program. The program assists students in making short environmental films ranging from documentaries to music videos. These films share the important work being done by community groups in Maui Nui to protect the ʻāina and empower youth voices on environmental issues. In the 2024-25 school year we will be offering a condensed fall break program as well as a spring semester program. We are also providing assistance to teachers who want to engage their students in creating films during school hours.” -Maui Huliau Foundation
“Our core vision is to create and maintain a sustainable Maui by inspiring active, educated, and innovative stewardship. Through our unique hands-on programs, we seek to educate and empower Maui's 12-18 year-olds to become future stewards of our natural environment.” -Maui Huliau Foundation
“There’s a true shift happening on Maui right now that’s very exciting, and more people are working together to show what’s possible in terms of sustainability and quality of life in Hawaii. In the past many years I’ve met farmers, conservationists, chefs, teachers, business owners and other community leaders who are working together on innovative solutions, and who have generously shared their time and passion with our students. Engaging youth in sharing these stories with the larger community has been an amazing experience for me personally and has shaped many of my students into the amazing young leaders they are becoming today.” -Cahill
Mana Foods is so proud to give back to the Maui Community that we love so much, and are so grateful for your contributions!
By saving bags, you help our ‘aina; by donating credits, you help our community! Every little bit helps and can add up to make a big difference!
Remember to bring your own grocery bag to Mana Foods to receive a bag credit. You can donate this or take it off your bill.
