It’s been on my heart and mind for quite some time trying to find a way to Kkua our community both during this pandemic and the terrible fires that ravaged our mountain communities.. Pono is not just about making money and surviving. It’s also about fulfilling our duty to serve others and create a stronger community in doing so. As some of you may or may not know I have a strong faith in God and one of the greatest principles of our faith is to serve others. That is so...mething near and dear to me and I have always done my best to do that. It’s Pono (righteous) and something we should all strive for in our daily lives. On Valentine’s Day (February 14th) this year we’ll be sharing our love with our community that’s in need. Santa Cruz Hope has offered their Scotts Valley parking lot to partner with us in this event. Cars will be in a drive thru set up and meals will be handed off to those who are in need! We are looking for donations towards this event and those to follow. We’ve launched The Living Pono Project and you can donate to this event and future events. DM for more information and stay tuned as more info will roll out in the next few weeks before the event! -Braddah Timmy j
