Roots Cultural Food Hub
The Returning to Our Roots Program was created in 2011, as an ʻāina to table initiative to address the social determinants of health by using food to help the community make connections to healthy behaviors and lifestyles. Roots is inspired by the resilient spirit of the Kalihi community and works to value common cultural traditions and honors the connections individuals and communities have to one another through the growing, preparing, and sharing of food.
- Since 2015, The Roots Cultural Food Hub has supported over 60 small farmers, backyard growers and non profit organizations across Oʻahu by providing local, organic and affordable local fruits, vegetables, cultural starches, value added products and proteins to the Kalihi community.
- The general public and patients of Kōkua Kalihi Valley can receive offerings through the Roots Cafe, Mobile Market, GusNIP Produce Prescription Program and Double Your Bucks Program.
- Weekly food hub and cafe menus can be found on Instagram and Facebook posts and through our website.
