About Us

We are spouses, service members and civilians, Active Duty and retired personnel in the Fort Shafter, AMR, Tripler, Camp Smith and Southern Oahu Military communities.

 

"The purpose of the Hui is to enhance the quality of life in the community by continuing the tradition of providing a strong support system for Hui Members and their families. Through the operation of the Fort Shafter Thrift Shop (FSTS) and additional fundraising activities, we raise funds to provide educational scholarships and grants to nonprofit organizations based on charitable purposes as identified by the IRS. These efforts reflect our commitment to charitable purposes that are educational, cultural, and charitable in nature, while also embracing social engagement.

 

By funding worthwhile community projects and supporting military families stationed OCONUS, we aim to lessen the burdens on government resources, reduce neighborhood tensions, and give back to the local community in meaningful ways. Our monthly functions and programs foster unity, encourage leadership development, provide educational experiences, promote goodwill, and provide opportunities for creative and cultural enrichment.

 

The Hui is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code."

We officially gather once a month to share a meal, do a little business and have a lot of fun!
