Impact & Results

Mālama Kula has served {{properties}} properties. That's {{properties}} families and about {{lives}} lives directly impacted by our work.

The total geographical footprint of the properties we have serviced is {{footprint}} acres.

That's {{baldwin-multiple}} times larger than Baldwin Beach Park, and you could fit {{maui-ocean-centers}} Maui Ocean Centers in that area.

That's roughly the equivalent of {{nfl-fields}} NFL football fields. Imagine the roar of that crowd!

Every property served strengthens the community, and a strong community benefits everyone.

The community has shown up for {{volunteers}} volunteer shifts. That works out to be about {{shifts-per-year}} shifts per year or {{shifts-per-day}} shifts per day.

That many people would fill the Castle Theatre at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center to capacity, {{castle-multiplier}} times over.

They would form a line that is around {{volunteer-miles-min}} to {{volunteer-miles-max}} miles long. Imagine walking past all those people!

Each shift was a generous act of aloha, so all of that volunteer effort amounts to... well... a lot of aloha!

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered with us!

Mālama Kula has dedicated a total of {{total-labor-hours}} labor hours towards our mission.

That's equivalent to one person working full-time for {{full-time-years}} years.

Even a robot operating around the clock would go nonstop for about {{robot-years}} years to put in that many hours of work.

To provide that many labor hours in one month, you would need at least {{full-time-employees}} people working full-time.

We are proud of everyone's dedication to this mission, and we are a better community for it. Can't stop, won't stop!

Since August 2023, we have generated {{chips-cubic-yards}} cubic yards of wood chips.

That many chips would cover an area of around {{chips-area-small}} to {{chips-area-large}} square feet. Weed suppression and erosion mitigation, oh my!

{{chips-cubic-yards}} cubic yards of chips weigh approximately {{chips-pounds}} pounds, or about {{chips-tons}} tons.

That's equivalent in weight to about {{cattle}} heads of cattle. Imagine that in a Kula pasture!

We distribute all of it among the Kula community, free of charge, as needed for agricultural or hazard mitigation purposes.

In total, we have removed {{gwaste-bins}} large bins of green waste. By volume, we have removed {{gwaste-cubic-yards}} cubic yards.

That's around {{gwaste-cubic-yards}} trips to the landfill that Kula residents didn't make, while also keeping that green waste out of Kula gulches.

That means Kula residents saved around {{miles-saved}} miles of driving since this service began.

That works out to be about {{dollars-saved}} back in the community's pockets, just from green waste!

Economics aside, we have more defensible space, less fire fuel, and Kula is safer for everyone.
