    Description

    Shopping for Kupuna

    We are looking for volunteers to help a kupuna in your community who cannot shop for themselves and does not have reliable support.

    As a delivery volunteer, you would call your kupuna once a week to check on them, then shop for them every 2 weeks. Volunteers only shop for essentials (such as groceries, necessary household supplies or medication). The kupuna would reimburse you for the cost of the items at time of delivery.

    If you’re interested in helping, click the button to register to be on our volunteer list. We’ll connect you with a kupuna in your area.
