Travel Visions Aloha For The Blind Empowering The Blind To See The World

09/19/2026

Waimea Valley in June. A hand on a shoulder for the path, a rope guideline for the hale, and plants you're allowed to touch.

This is what a Saturday with Travel Visions Aloha looks like. Shop at Foodland this month? At checkout, give the cashier code 79219 and the amount you want to donate. Any amount. Foodland matches it. Through September 30.

If you were on that hike, share this.

Then a participant's hand traces a rope guideline in front of a thatched hale display. Then the group gathers on a shaded garden path, a participant in an orange shirt and sun hat leaning in to examine a plant. A final card shows the Foodland and Give Aloha logos with the words code 79219, At Foodland this month, Any amount, Foodland matches it, Through Sept 30.

Why do blind people go whale watching?

Because when the crew calls out a whale, 27 volunteer guides on this boat find it, then turn to their participant and describe it. How far. Which way it's moving. The spout, the back, the tail. 29 blind and low vision adventurers saw whales in February through a guide's words.

Shop at Foodland this month? At checkout, give the cashier code 79219 and the amount you want to donate. Any amount. Foodland matches it. Through September 30.

If you were on that boat, share this.

Image description: A group walks down a marina dock toward a boat, a sighted guide's hand on a blind participant's shoulder, sailboat masts behind them. Then the catamaran pulls away from the dock past a green-roofed harbor building. Then a participant on the upper deck raises binoculars to scan the water. A final card shows the Foodland and Give Aloha logos with the words code 79219, At Foodland this month, Any amount, Foodland matches it, Through Sept 30.

Code 79219 at checkout. Any amount. Foodland matches it. Through September 30.

Image description: A blind athlete in a red shirt and pink vest reading BLIND ATHLETE runs beside a sighted guide in a yellow GUIDE vest on a red path at Magic Island, palms and ocean ahead, then the pair run toward the camera with the Waikīkī skyline behind. A banner across the top shows the Foodland and Give Aloha logos with the words code 79219.

Rain didn't cancel run club. Guides showed up, athletes showed up, and one guide ran the loop blindfolded to learn what it's like.

If you've ever been a guide, you know one person who shops at Foodland. Send them this.

Code 79219 at checkout. Any amount. Foodland matches it. Through September 30.

Image description: On a wet red path under rain clouds, a guide in a yellow vest walks arm in arm with an athlete in a pink vest and hooded jacket. Then a guide in a blue shirt runs beside a bald athlete along a seawall with the beach behind. Then a blindfolded guide in a yellow GUIDE vest and a runner with purple hair jog toward the camera, the runner giving a thumbs-up. A banner across the top shows the Foodland and Give Aloha logos with the words code 79219.

Three pairs, one Saturday morning at Magic Island. Some run, some walk, everyone finishes.

Every one of those guides is a volunteer. If that's you, here's the one thing we need this month: send this to one person who shops at Foodland.

Code 79219 at checkout. Any amount. Foodland matches it. Through September 30.

Image description: A blind athlete in a red shirt and pink vest runs beside a guide in a blue tank and yellow GUIDE vest, more runners ahead on the path. Then an older athlete in a white shirt and pink vest walks toward the camera on the shaded track with his guide. Then a guide in a green shirt and a blind athlete in maroon jog around a corner past palms toward the camera. A banner across the top shows the Foodland and Give Aloha logos with the words code 79219.

"Most participants would not be able to do all those fun events without TVA." A volunteer wrote that after our whale watching trip. Boat, lunch, and a spot on deck for every blind and low vision participant: that's what donations cover.

Through September 30, Foodland covers some of it with you. Say code 79219 at checkout at Foodland, Foodland Farms, or Sack N Save, give any amount up to $249, and Foodland matches it.

If you volunteer with us, share this with one person who shops at Foodland. That's the whole ask.

This month, Foodland makes it easy to back them. Shopping at Foodland, Foodland Farms, or Sack N Save? Say code 79219 at checkout with your Maikaʻi card, give any amount up to $249, and Foodland adds a matching gift on top. Through September 30.
