We promote community; celebrate our cultural diversity and heritage; and preserve, protect, and enhance the special qualities of historic Mānoa Valley. Mary M.

Mālama Mānoa was founded in January 1992 as the Mānoa Historic Preservation Committee at a Mānoa Neighborhood Board meeting. In September, the name “Mālama o Mānoa” was adopted (but changed recently to Mālama Mānoa). The charter of incorporation as a non-profit corporation in the State of Hawaii was granted in December 1992. In March 1993 the Internal Revenue Service approved Mālama Mānoa’s application as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, which also allows tax-deductible contributions. Cooke was elected as the charter President. Charter Directors were Lowell Angell, Thomas Heinrich, Violet Hiranaka, Agnes Hirotsu, Gerald Honda, Linda LeGrande, Helen Nakano, Charles Pearson, and Bertha Ueoka. Membership, while aimed at residents of Mānoa, is free and is open to anyone who supports the mission of Mālama Mānoa. Starting with 37 people who attended the first meeting, there are now over 3,000 registered members. Join us! Visit https://www.malamamanoa.org/join

🌿 An announcement from Friends of Lyon Arboretum.

The Mālama ʻĀina Volunteer Workday starts Saturday, September 26th from 8AM to 12PM, and continues every 4th Saturday (except December).

Volunteers gather in the upper parking lot at 3860 Mānoa Road. {lease arrive between 8:00 and 8:15, as the gate is only open briefly.

Wear long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, and closed-toe shoes, and bring a water bottle. Tools, work gloves, and mosquito repellent are provided. Come ready for mud and rain; the work goes on either way.

You don't need to be a member, and you don't need any experience — just a willingness to get dirty for a place that has given Mānoa so much. Bring a friend.

RSVP appreciated but not required: [email protected]
