Sponsor Hoʻopili ʻAi

Help connect more students with Hawaiʻi-grown food.

Why Donate?

Every sampler box puts Hawaiʻi-grown staple crops in front of a classroom of keiki — many tasting ʻulu, kalo, or ʻuala for the first time. The boxes are free for schools, and sponsorships are what keep them free: your gift covers the food, learning materials, and delivery for the classrooms and cafeterias that request them, while putting dollars directly back into Hawaiʻi's farms.
