For decades, the need in Hāna for a community-based commercial kitchen, agricultural aggregation space, and resilience hub has been identified by our residents, and now is the time for taking action! The Hāna Business Council (HBC) is seeking tax-deductible donor support for the Hāna Hub project. In FY2026 through the Maui County Office of Recovery, a line item in the budget funded the acquisition by the HBC of the 14.57 acres of land adjacent to the Hāna Airport at 20 Uwala Road for the Hāna Hub location. The property title was transferred and the sale was completed on March 27, 2026!

HBC is spearheading this GoFundMe campaign with an initial goal of $100,000 to begin building the project's financial foundation and to cover the costs associated with overseeing the property and moving the Hāna Hub project forward, while other grant and revenue sources are also secured to focus on HBC project areas and building at the Hāna Hub.

We are working with community leaders to build this agricultural aggregation, commercial kitchen, and resilience hub in Hāna. The purchase of this land is supported by Councilmember Shane Sinenci and Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen who, with the support of the Maui County Council secured funding for this purchase by the HBC.

Your contribution will go towards:
