Poi day is a place where our community gathers to continue this important cultural practice of making poi, to socialize with one another, and share ‘ono food.

Every Thursday morning our community comes together to process cooked kalo into poi.

Poi Day was started about 30 years ago by the Hawaiian families along Kauai’s north shore as a food justice project, to keep poi available and affordable.

Today, we distribute an average of 800 pounds of poi weekly to kūpuna and ‘ohana throughout the island, at cost.

We are not currently accepting new volunteers at poi day. We’ve changed poi day operations in order to keep our community safe and abide by food handling requirements.
