Support Maui Huliau Foundation through October's bag credit program...

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!

 How a pipe-dream becomes a soulful reality & 40years of business ... A deeply personal interview with Ed Thielk, the founder of Mana Foods

Located in the same place Mana Foods is today, the initial space measured a mere 400-sq-ft, boasted a worn out cement floor, and an awkward accordion door. It lacked basic organization and aesthetic appeal, and seemed to have all odds against its survival. But, as irony would have it, this was the start of something very big.
