generosity across geographic boundaries American Red Cross Volunteer training for disaster preparedness, Haiti and Japan Relief Stanley Kuriyama Communities across America know the Red Cross is ready to assist in the event of disasters, and they count on hundreds of residents being trained each year in first aid, CPR and other basic lifesaving skills. The A&B Foundation contributes annually to help ensure this readiness, a resilience which makes for stronger individuals, families and neighborhoods. A&B President and CEO Stanley Kuriyama, who serves on the Hawaii Chapter’s Executive Committee, is a supporter of the Chapter’s collaborations with other private and tax-funded efforts to prepare, respond and recover from hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods, as well as the Red Cross’ mission of helping Hawaii’s residents and visitors on a Stanley Kuriyama daily basis in their times of need. In 2010, A&B employees contributed generously to earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, and the A&B Foundation fulfilled its challenge to double their support, providing a total of $25,000 to help another island commu­ nity half a world away. A&B’s relief donation was made through the American Red Cross. Just recently, an additional $40,000 was donated by employees and the Foundation for Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief.

Maui Economic Opportunity (MEO) works to improve the socio-economic status of residents of this Hawaiian island. One of the many projects it helps sustain is the BusinessFest, produced since 2007 by Maui’s Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce. As its name implies, the group explores how to prepare Native Hawaiians for leadership roles in Maui’s business, education, government and non-profit sectors. A&B Properties retiree Chubby Vicens, who also worked for Matson during his 21-year career, serves on the MNHCC board and led the group as board president Before the keynote speeches, workshops and in 2010.

Mark Vaught, a manager with East Maui Irrigation Co. (EMI) and board member, knew that it felt good to give his time; he figured others would respond generously if they knew the Farm’s good work. The new mission and a matching challenge grant of $5,000 helped meet their goal and more—with nearly twice that amount contri­ buted. An encouraging start to getting this important Mark Vaught organization off the ground!

5 generosity of time and leadership Hawaii Foodbank Equipment improvements—forklifts Gary North

Hawaii’s food banks are challenged by smaller properties and warehouses. Their sup­ plies must be stacked higher, thus requiring more powerful, specially designed forklifts to reach the high racks. A grant from A&B recently helped pur- chase two reconditioned forklifts for the Foodbank’s Oahu location. After his 27-year career at Matson, Volunteer Gary North can admire, retiree Gary North serves the but not operate, the forklift which Hawaii Food Bank, “focusing my personal is electric and without emissions— best for confined spaces.

But more was needed—more food, more cash, more space—and a warehouse expansion­ called for new racks, a fire sprinkler system and a roof-top solar system. HC&S manager Garret Hew, co-vice-chair of the Maui Food Bank’s board, is described by the nonprofit staff as “a problem solver with a wealth of experience.” Colleagues know he has a passion for food—he also has a passion to serve those in need. Garret says he’s really just a team player, but admitted the effort “really hits home when I know that children are not going hungry.” Food Bank board member Garret Hew happily considers the many meals to be provided thanks to an expanded Maui Food Bank.
