ʻO Makuʻu Ke Kahua Community Center (ʻOMKKCC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization located in Puna, Hawaiʻi on Moku o Keawe (Hawaiʻi Island). ʻOMKKCC was recently developed in 2019 in order to continue the voyage approved and set forth by the founders of Makuʻu Farmers Association in 1997. To do this work, ʻOMKKCC is both continuing and venturing into multiple projects including the construction of a community center, the renovation of its farmers market, and the continuation of its Māla Hoʻoulu ʻIke program. ʻOMKKCC looks to fulfill a critical need in the Puna community while highlighting its assets and strengths as an organization, thereby continuing to be a permanent and safe foundation for fostering Native Hawaiian culture.
