We are excited and grateful to announce that Waipā Foundation recently reached our goal of $1.7M to build our new community poi mill, kitchen and hale imu.

The new facilities will include a certified poi mill and kitchen that farmers, food businesses, caterers and the community can use. An adjoining hale imu will also be built and be available for use. With the new poi mill and kitchen, Waipā will expand our own food distribution and host even more food related training and education for learners of all ages.

We have so many to thank and are in the process of gathering permission to share the names of contributors in a new mahalo page here on our site. But in the meantime, mahalo nui loa to everyone that has helped us reach this important milestone!
