Upcountry Strong

What We Do

Upcountry Strong, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing support to those facing food insecurity in the Upcountry Maui community.

Who We Are

We started as a small group of neighbors in Makawao who began holding food drives in March 2020 for the Kupuna at Hale Mahaolu Eha (senior housing). On a similar path, Pukalani Superette was also holding food distributions with Common Ground Collective through the public school system during that time. We all decided to join forces when we quickly realized that we are stronger together, thus Upcountry Strong was born.  We utilize non-profit and private business resources to provide food to Upcountry residents in need.  Through our partnership with Maui Food Bank, we are also able to respond to emergency food situations.
