Aloha community, HCEOC will be closed tomorrow for Thanksgiving and reopen on Friday, November 25. We hope you and your loved ones have a safe and memorable holiday!

This month HCEOC collected over $6,000 in donations from Ohana Fuels (@ohanafuels) 'Fuel Up. Do Good.' program! From July through September, a portion of every gas sale at Hawaii Island Ohana Fuels stations was donated to HCEOC. So if you filled up at Ohana Fuels during that time: thank you for your contribution! "This donation will be allocated among our programs, boosting our resources so we may better serve our community from multiple angles," said Executive Director Chad Hasegawa. Mahalo to all who supported us during our benefit period, and to Ohana Fuels for sharing our vision of giving back to the community! #FuelUpDoGood #OhanaFuels

Aloha community, HCEOC will be closed this Friday, November 11 and will resume regular business hours on Monday, November 14. Mahalo for understanding. Happy Veterans Day!
