Some of our amazing recruiters - Victoria Miller, Meghan Gottcent, and Casey Tripp had a blast visiting our Mechanicsburg office today! It was a fantastic opportunity to connect in person and learn from each other. We're always grateful for the hard work and dedication of our entire team, no matter where they're located. 

We went all digital for our latest Annual Giving Report, now available online at https://lnkd.in/gip5eCpy and through the link below! Inside you'll learn more about our amazing partner organizations and nonprofits that are generating impact throughout our communities. We are proud to have given over $2.5 million last year to programs supporting the lāhui – including students, teachers, and young professionals – and contributing to meaningful causes wherever we have a Nakupuna presence. We want to acknowledge our Nakupuna employees, whose hard work and dedication enable the Nakupuna Companies to thrive while creating the capacity for the Foundation to make a difference. Because of them, the Foundation has passed the $11 million mark in cumulative organizational giving – an incredible milestone for us all. Mahalo nui loa to all of our partners and to the employees of the Nakupuna Companies! It is a privilege to work together, and we look forward to celebrating our next big milestone together.

Last Friday, our Executive Team kicked off the demolition of Nakupuna's upcoming office space in Arlington, VA. With the support of our construction partner, Bognet Construction, our leadership donned their PPE and took up sledgehammers to break down a wall, marking the start of construction. It was a great day for everyone involved, and we look forward to collaborating with Bognet and JLL as we prepare to open our new office in early 2025.

This past weekend, some of our Nakupuna 'ohana spent a beautiful day in mālama ʻāina at Kaʻōnohi! We had 15 volunteers participate, including several friends and family members of Nakupuna employees.   The group removed some invasive species while helping clear the lo‘i for new kalo to be planted. This feat included pulling weeds to make space for growing different lā‘au (medicine), extracting or stomping down invasive plants, and helping redirect the flow of water to prevent healthy soil from being washed out of the area. Our volunteers contributed to the ongoing efforts of restoring Kaʻōnohi and the greater Kalauao area to what it once was – a flourishing ahupua‘a of abundant resources where community once gathered, planted, and harvested kalo and other foods. You can learn more about Hoʻōla Hou iā Kalauao at https://lnkd.in/g6BpxG3D. Mahalo to all those who participated and to Hoʻōla Hou iā Kalauao for letting us join their community work day!

Please welcome some of Nakupuna's newest employees: pack llamas! These llamas will be assisting with fire mitigation efforts along Roaring Creek in Colorado, part of our Cameron Peaks Fire Mitigation project. The path to the project site is steep and difficult to navigate for vehicles, but these amazing animals can manage it, "no probllama." Soon, these llamas will be helping us haul equipment and supplies to our worksites, where technicians will be building and installing complex log structures to repair damage along the creek. Great job to the team, and "good lluck"!
