Our Kupuna is a free service provided by volunteers interested in helping kupuna in
their community. The volunteer is matched to a kupuna (over age 65 years old). The
volunteer will check in with the kupuna once a week and shop for food and necessary supplies, so the kupuna does not have to leave their home.
The kupuna is responsible for reimbursing the sponsor for the cost of the items via cash/check (no credit cards allowed). To access the service, Kupuna will need to apply online.
