    Description

    Shopping for Kupuna/Elder/Senior

    We are looking for volunteers to help a kupuna/elder in your community (all islands of Hawai'i) 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.

    Mahalo for your interest!

    How to Volunteer for This Opportunity

    Could you please take a moment to complete our main volunteer application? Once we receive it, we’ll run a background check, and after that clears, we’ll reach out with the next steps.

    Mahalo again for your time and willingness to support our kūpuna!
