Kaiser Permanente volunteers restore cultural sites across Hawaii

Over 1,000 Kaiser Permanente staff and their families volunteered on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to restore cultural sites across Hawaii. Projects included clearing invasive species, planting native plants, and preserving taro patches. On O‘ahu, volunteers worked at Kalaeloa Heritage Park and the He‘eia fishpond. On Maui, volunteers supported the Paeloko Learning Center, while those on Hawai‘i Island restored native dryland forests. The efforts honor Hawaiian culture, environmental preservation, and community health.
