September is Give Aloha month!

Give Aloha is Foodland’s Annual Community Matching Gifts Program. Throughout September, customers may donate up to $249 to Taiko Arts Center or other Give Aloha registered non-profit organizations, at any Foodland, Sack N Save, or Foodland Farms checkout. One hundred percent of your gift addressed for TAC will go directly to TAC, and Foodland will match a portion of your contribution.

Your support helps TAC provide scholarships for Taiko Center of the Pacific Fellows, support workshops and performances, re-skin taiko used by students, and develop projects that keep the art of taiko thriving in our community.

How to donate:

1. Enter your Maika’i phone number or present your Maika’i card at checkout.
2. Tell the cashier: “I’d like to make a $_____ donation to Taiko Arts Center, #78462.”
3. Review your receipt to confirm that the organization name and donation amount are correct.

Give Aloha runs from September 1 through September 30, 2026.

Every contribution helps, and Foodland’s matching gift makes your support go even further. Please feel free to share the attached flyer with family, friends, and others who would like to support taiko.

Mahalo for your consideration and continued support!

Aloha all! Hope everyone is doing well and safe from the weather conditions.
