Hua Momona Foundation
The Hua Momona Foundation aims to strengthen and expand Maui’s charitable efforts by engaging in agriculture-focused initiatives. This includes donating food products, serving hot meals at community distribution points, sharing fresh local produce from partner farms, accelerating efforts to replace housing, supporting mental health programs, participating in impactful fundraising events, and is now launching a youth music program with a ukulele ensemble consisting of young people from Lahaina. To date, the foundation has served nearly 100,000 hot, fresh meals to those impacted by the Lahaina Fires. The Foundation seeks key benefactors to make charter investments to fortify its sustainable platform, enabling self-funded, high-impact operations with a special focus on ongoing Lahaina recovery efforts.
