Community Service

"Be a blessing to others."

— Twinkle Borge, Puʻuhonua O Waiʻanae village leader

Everyone in the village is expected to perform at least eight hours of community service every month. Some clean the park next to the village or maintain trails and common areas. Others organize and staff the donation tent.

Once a month, residents go out and serve other houseless communities across the island. They bring food and clothing, and share what they’ve learned about how taking responsibility builds trust and relationships.

Volunteers from Puʻuhonua O Waiʻanae have been to Kakaʻako, Old Stadium Park, Waimanalo, Wahiawa, Ewa Beach and more.

Keiki always come along so they learn about serving others and see how blessed they are to live in Puʻuhonua O Waiʻanae.
