Aloha kākou,
Hale Halawai ‘Ohana O Hanalei wishes everyone a happy Thanksgiving!
We hope you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your family and loved ones during the holidays. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us not to take these precious moments together for granted and we hope you were able to gather safely and celebrate all there is to be thankful for. Now is a perfect moment to reflect on what matters most in our lives - like our relationships, health and wellbeing. It’s a time to express appreciation and gratitude for the privileges we are so blessed to have. It's also a time to show extra love and aloha to those around us and those who are less fortunate, through compassion and generosity.
Today we are joining the wonderful #GivingTuesday movement! It is a day focused on donating to charity during the holiday season. This year, Hale Halawai is focusing our #GivingTuesday donations to help fund the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) efforts we kicked off earlier at our weekly Farmers’ Market. Thanks to a grant from the Hawai’i Farmers’ Market Association, we are now able to accept SNAP/EBT benefits at our market and you can help us sustain this much needed benefit to our community. We are very excited to play our part in increasing access to fresh, local, organic produce for our community. By donating to Hale Halawai, you are able to support this program and specifically the activity of the iconic and well established Farmers’ Market of Hanalei. It is our wish that you choose Hale Halawai ‘Ohana O Hanalei as your #GivingTuesday charity.
