We Met Our Goal – Thanks To You! 

Thanks to your generosity, we reached our $6,500 fundraising goal to support Hawai‘i Meals on Wheels’ first-ever office move!

Your support is helping us cover essential moving expenses — from professional movers to IT setup — ensuring no disruptions in service for the kūpuna who count on us.

Now, with Move Day set for July 11, we’re shifting our focus to packing up and getting our new home ready, and we’re so grateful to be surrounded by community helping hands.

? Big mahalo to Boy Scouts Troop 42, who rolled up their sleeves to prime and paint the interior of the cottage, tackle a lot of yard work, and power wash the exterior — helping bring new life and light to our future home.

? Aloha United Way Day of Action volunteers also stepped up to help us sort, pack, and organize our storage room, making a big dent in our moving to-do list with their energy and teamwork.

? We’re especially grateful our very own Volunteer and Outreach Director Brad Akamu and his dad Peter Akamu, former President of IBEW Local 1186 – who have spent the last few weeks fixing up and updating the home in preparation for A/C installation— a major gift of in-kind labor!

We'll continue to share updates by email here as we pack, prep, and settle in — and welcome continued support as we complete renovations and move into this exciting new chapter.

Mahalo for being a part of this exciting move!

New Home, Same Mission: Support Our First-Ever Office Move! 

For nearly 45 years, Hawai‘i Meals on Wheels has called Manoa Valley Church home. It’s where we welcome new volunteers, plan our weekly routes, and field dozens of phone calls every day. Our office space is the control center of dispatching hundreds of thousands of meals to homebound kūpuna across Oʻahu.

Now, for the first time in our organization’s history, we’re moving.

By July 11, we will be relocating our Manoa office to Community Church of Honolulu in Nuuanu  – leasing a cozy cottage and additional office to house our administrative and outreach staff and meal delivery drivers. This sudden move marks a new chapter—one filled with growth and continued commitment to serving our island’s most isolated and medically fragile kūpuna.

We’re excited. We’re hopeful. But we need your help.

This unexpected transition brings with it unplanned expenses. We’re reaching out to our community to help us raise $6,500 to cover moving costs. 

Your donation, no matter the size, will help us:

  • Hire professional movers to safely relocate essential equipment and supplies

  • Provide lunch for our dedicated volunteer who are helping us pack 

  • IT set-up of our server and back-up battery to ensure that there are no interruptions in services for our clients 

This move isn’t just about a new location—it’s about continuing our mission with strength and stability. With your support, we’ll make this transition with grace and gratitude.

Will you help us write this next chapter?
