Nareit Hawaii presented a $30,000 grant to the Binhi At Ani Filipino Community Center to expand its Bayanihan Feeding Program, providing elderly Maui residents on fixed incomes with free meals that are prepared and delivered to them at home.
Melen Agcolicol, president of Binhi At Ani, said, “This grant is a godsend and comes at such an opportune time. We would have been strapped to continue our free meals program without Nareit Hawaii’s generous donation. This grant will pay for our food and supplies for the next two years and allow us to increase the number of seniors we can provide free meals to on Maui.”
Located in Kahului, Maui, Binhi At Ani, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, started the program in February 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to help protect seniors from becoming infected, while also keeping them fed and healthy.
