As the year comes to a close, we’re reminded every day that small hands can do incredible things—especially with a caring community behind them. Since 2008, Grow Some Good has brought school garden education to thousands of Maui’s keiki. Today, with your support, we reach over 7,000 students each year, helping them grow confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong connection to the ‘āina

Your Impact in Action

One of our Garden Coordinators recently shared a story that captures exactly what your generosity makes possible.

A group of fifth-grade boys—usually restless and struggling in class—took on a steep hillside choked with invasive cane grass. Week after week, they showed up. They cleared the land. They watched the view open. And somewhere along the way, the hillside wasn’t the only thing transformed.
They found calm. They found confidence. They found a place where they belonged.
This is the power of your gift.

Why Your Year-End Gift Matters

When you give to Grow Some Good, you strengthen Maui’s food security, nurture resilience, and ensure that every keiki has access to hands-on learning rooted in our island’s culture and environment.

Every gift—no matter the size—grows healthy habits, nourishes schools and families, and plants hope for Maui’s future.

Where Your Gift Goes

Farm to School

Your donation fuels hands-on garden classes, taste tests, STEM learning, and chances for students to bring fresh harvests home. These experiences deepen their connection to nature and support healthier futures.

Nā Māla Kaiāulu

At our multi-acre urban agroforest in Kahului, created in partnership with the Maui Family YMCA, you help turn once dry and fire-prone land into a thriving food forest. All harvests are shared with local families at no cost.

Kumu Mea Kanu Kits

Born during the pandemic and now used in classrooms island-wide, these kits give keiki the tools, curriculum, and confidence to grow their own food. Students proudly take plants home or donate them to local farms, nurturing a true cycle of giving.
