Welcome and Aloha

Community Members, Part-Time Residents & Visitors

Hale Halawai ‘Ohana ‘O Hanalei translates as “A house for the coming together of the ‘Ohana (extended family) of Hanalei.” Locally referenced as The Community-Family Center.  Dedicated to celebrating and increasing the resources and spirit of the people, the Center serves as a venue for a variety of services, classes, programs and events.

Aunty Kapeka Mahuiki-Chandler, founder, offered:  “When you say this is the family center – it is for everybody, that is why we are here. I want them to get along, to learn how to live with each other … it doesn’t matter what nationality.  Maybe here we can bridge over our differences. I would like to see that, and we need more of that in the world today.”

Together, with your help, we continue to bring the vision of  The Center into reality. The non-profit is primarily supported by private donations, grants, in-kind contributions and volunteers.  Your participation and contributions are greatly appreciated.
