As part of its “Fuel Up. Do Good.” community giving program — giving a portion of every gasoline sale to support a worthy cause or group each quarter — Ohana Fuels donated $4,902.92 to Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center.
“We were delighted to be selected as the charity this spring,” said Ku‘ikahi Executive Director Julie Mitchell. “When local businesses support nonprofits, the whole community benefits.”
During the second quarter of 2015, Ohana Fuels’ top tier, fuel-efficient gasoline sales were designated to help fund Ku‘ikahi’s “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” educational programs.
“This generous gift allows us to continue and expand our East Hawaii Peer Mediation Elementary School Pilot Project,” Mitchell said.
“From one school in 2014 to seven schools in 2015, this program teaches fourth- and fifth-graders how to resolve conflicts among their classmates.”
Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center empowers people to come together — to talk and listen, explore options and find their own best solutions.
“The mission of our giving program is to help meet the needs of the communities we serve by supporting nonprofit organizations that improve overall quality of life,” said Kimo Haynes, president of Hawaii Petroleum Inc.
