AloHā Resource & Community Center

Closed Mondays | Open Tues & Thurs: 12–8 PM | Fri: 9 AM–5 PM
The ARCC aims to foster a sense of belonging for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities who yearn a space to thrive in their cultural identity and values. It provides a puʻuhonua—a safe space where individuals can find peace and grounding in everything they do.In Hawaiian culture, Puʻuhonua was a place of refuge. A place where all were at peace and found grounding in all that they needed. In Hawaiʻi, those places are abundant and accessible for the community but here, in the diaspora, many have forgotten because there is no access. The ARCC will continue to serve as a Puʻuhonua and our goal is to grow our services and expand our hale!

Food Pantry & Clothing Closet
The place for resources! KALO values that many of our communities do not have access to hygiene items, warm clothing, footwear, and food products to sustain themselves. That is why weʻre here – to take away to worries of access to basic needs.
