Chef Hui is a non-profit organization that consists of local cooks and food service providers throughout Hawai'i that have come together to support farmers, independent producers, βaina-based organizations and other like-minded locals that need their help. Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic hit Hawai'i, Chef Hui invested over 270 volunteer hours to rescue nearly 20,000 pounds of food, and redistributed the food to 25 social service agencies who in turn served over 16,000 meals to the keiki, kupuna, and their 'ohana. On a day to day basis, the mission of Chef HuiΒ is to create opportunities to connect the culinary world with their community through a strong network of local chefs and produce providers.Β We aim to provide opportunities for like minded culinary professionals and educators to deepen their connection to farmers, ranchers, schools, community organizations and individuals working to build a more robust food system.

We recently partnered with Chef Hui to give back a portion of proceeds from our limited edition Island Flower Collection to benefit COVID-19 relief in Hawai'i through the Chef Hui Give & Go Community Meal Program. You can shop the collection to giveback for a cause here: Men's Collection and Women's Collection.
