To celebrate our 150th anniversary in 2020 we created the “Kokua 150” program that gave each employee $150 to designate to a local nonprofit of their choice. Little did we know how meaningful this program would become. Last year, 170 A&B employees participated in this program (over 90%), and together we donated $25,500 to Hawaii charities. Employees, such as employee Charlie Loomis who designated his Kokua 150th donation to local organization HUGS as pictured above, designated their Kokua 150 grants to a wide range of organizations including food banks, schools, animal shelters, environmental groups, youth clubs, cultural organizations, and well-loved community programs.

We’re excited to share a new mural created by the Kosasa Academy at Aikahi Park Shopping Center. Mahalo to Cindy Janus, volunteer art director, and the Academy’s students for continuing to adorn the construction walls that surround the future Starbucks building at the center with their creative artwork. We’re thrilled to see their work recognized in MidWeek’s Windward Voice publication.

Since 1994, the Maui Food Bank has been on the frontlines providing hunger relief for the island of Maui. Seeing the need in their own community, 20 Maui employees from Kahului Trucking & Storage and A&B’s Maui office designated $150 each through our Kokua 150 charitable giving program. Through this program, each employee can designate $150 to a nonprofit of their choice as part of A&B’s 150th anniversary. A&B also continued its support of Maui Food Bank with a grant.
