ʻĀina Momona stands in deep aloha and solidarity with their partners at the Hawaiʻi Farmers Union Foundation and the rural farming communities across our paeʻāina who have been devastated by the 2026 floods.
These are not just farms - they are generational lifeways and pillars of our food sovereignty. They are ʻohana-run operations in places like Waialua, where the land feeds families, where knowledge is passed down, and where communities are tightly woven together. In a matter of days, many of these farmers lost crops, equipment, and in some cases, their primary source of income.
Because of this community’s strength and generosity, ʻĀina Momona has already raised over $150,000 to support these farmers. But the need remains urgent. We are now asking you to help us match that amount and stand with us in doubling this support for those who need it most.
Funds raised will go directly to farmers on Oʻahu’s North Shore through the on-the-ground work HFUF is doing, as well as to farmers statewide who are struggling to recover and rebuild.
When rural farmers suffer, we all feel it. Our local food systems weaken. Our communities lose resilience. And the burden grows heavier on those who have always fed us.
This is a moment to show up: for our farmers, for our rural communities, for our future.
Give what you can. Share this message. Stand with those who continue to mālama the ʻāina, even in the face of loss.
Together, we can help these communities recover, rebuild, and remain strong for generations to come.
