Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawaiʻi by providing opportunities that enhance appreciation for and understanding of the environment to inspire lifelong stewards of the earth. With funding from Lowe's Hometowns, KHF will build the Kōkua Community Center by upgrading the storage area for the Kōkua General Store to be a multifunctional community center space, installing new bathrooms, flooring, upgrading electrical and lighting units, building storage areas, and installing a solar system. This renovation will also build indoor and outdoor spaces to provide a gathering place for the community to learn, share skills, stories and ideas, through workshops, classes and other learning opportunities that cultivate long-lasting behavior change around sustainability.
