At Mālama Kula, cleanup work doesn’t end when the immediate emergency is over.

Storm and fire debris can continue creating safety hazards for families, neighborhoods, and surrounding land long after the visible damage is gone.

That’s why our crews work to remove hazardous material, clear impacted areas, and help restore safe, functional spaces across Kula.

Site by site, this work helps families regain peace of mind and communities regain stability. 🌱

Because resilience isn’t only about responding to disaster — it’s about helping people safely move forward afterward.

Share this so more people understand the long-term recovery work happening across Kula every week.

This happened in April 😳

We want to share more of what our day-to-day ACTUALLY looks like. Let us know in the comments 👇 if this is something you’d like to see more of.

In April alone, our crew was out 5 days a week across Kula:

✅ Clearing storm damage
✅ Reducing hazardous fire fuels
✅ Cleaning properties
✅ Picking up green waste for kūpuna
✅ Delivering free wood chips to residents
✅ Supporting local schools
✅ Turning hazardous debris into resources for erosion control and preschool play areas

Since August 2023, Mālama Kula has removed over 2.5 million lbs of dead and downed trees from across Kula and turned them into wood chips. Collectively, those chips can capture 3–4 million lbs of water — or roughly 365,000–485,000 gallons — every time it rains.

The hazardous fire fuels surrounding our community can also help be part of the solution to drought and devastating winter floods.

One of the ways we do that is through our Kūpuna curbside green waste pickup program — completely free. Why❓

• Helps establish defensible space
• Reduces fuel loads
• Creates wood chips for erosion control
• Because it’s the right thing to do — we respect our elders and care for our neighbors

We couldn’t serve the community without YOU supporting the work 🤝

If you want to help us continue showing up every week for Kula, please consider making a donation through the link in our bio 🔗💚

April Community Work days in Kula looked like this 😍
Many hours, one impact: showing up, getting our hands dirty, and giving back to the land and community.

Grateful for every single person who came through
