This holiday season, give more than a gift — give a story. The Makana Box is a curated collection of locally made products, each crafted with aloha by graduates of our ʻĀinapreneur program and community partners across Hawaiʻi Island. Every item is a reflection of resilience, rootedness, and the beauty of local enterprise.
Inside, you’ll find:
Irresistible shortbread cookies from Hiro’s Cookies
A potent turmeric elixir from Uproot Origin
Fragrant vanilla sugar from Sweet Bean Vanillary
100% Hawaiʻi-grown macadamias from Hāmākua Macadamia Nut Company
Bold, rare coffee from Kaʻū Coffee Mill
A free shaved ice voucher from Blazin' Snow
More than just a gift box, the Makana Box is a movement — a way to uplift local entrepreneurs, empower community, and celebrate moʻolelo woven through food, culture, and creativity.
Hoʻomana — to empower. That’s what the Makana Box is all about.
Support local. Share aloha. Give with intention.
