Our ‘Ohana in Hawai’i means everything to us. We have family, friends, and co-workers spread throughout different islands. The recent Kona Low storms have brought record rainfall resulting in widespread flooding, landslides, power outages, and infrastructure damage across multiple islands, with the North Shore of O’ahu seeing the most severe impact. Thousands of families are displaced, with some losing everything.
We’re honored to support great organizations that are working non-stop to help in the recovery efforts across Hawai’i, and specifically the North Shore of O’ahu. For our Islands Sand Camo Collection, we are donating a portion of proceeds to the Lāhui Foundation and Hawai’i Foodbank.
Lāhui Foundation
Located in Ko‘olauloa, the Lāhui Foundation is integrated into the O’ahu community. Their mission centers on supporting underrepresented and underserved families, protecting culture, land, and the community. With the recent Kona Low storms, they have been instrumental in mobilizing cleanup crews and coordinating the distribution of donated supplies to those affected, both on O’ahu and Maui.

Hawai’i Foodbank
Operating warehouses in Oʻahu and Kauaʻi, the Hawai’i Foodbank partners with local food agencies statewide to distribute millions of pounds of food each year. Feeding the families of Hawai’i during crises is a core part of their mission. Currently they are holding emergency food distributions for families impacted by flooding and evacuations around Central Oʻahu and the North Shore.
