Nonprofit efforts The nonprofit group Ke Kula Nui O Waimānalo (KKNOW), whose aim is to promote health and support the self-sustainability of the Waimānalo community, has partnered with other nonprofits, businesses and governmental agencies to provide food for Waimānalo families. Since mid-March, the group has distributed 24,000 prepared meals and 3,550 boxes of fresh produce. KKNOW also delivered seeds and seedlings of traditional Hawaiian crops such as kalo (taro) and ʻuala (sweet potato) to families and community members who are vulnerable to food insecurity, economic instability and other social challenges. The goal of KKNOW is to build community resilience by helping fellow Native Hawaiians grow their own food before further disruptions strike, said Kirk Dietschman, president of Ke Kula Nui O Waimānalo and a co-author of the paper.
