CHEFS, CELEBS SPREAD ALOHA
Check out the hashtag #kokuaforrestaurants on Instagram to catch videos that will make you smile. They’ve been posted by chefs and other celebrities (such as ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro), all singing or lip-syncing the Mana‘o Company’s “Spread a Little Aloha.” Any lack of musicality is made up in enthusiasm.
The point is to draw attention to a Hawai‘i Food & Wine Festival campaign, Aloha Challenge, to aid unemployed restaurant industry workers. The effort has raised almost $100,000 in less than two weeks, with all contributions going to provide $250 VISA cards to the workers, to spend at local restaurants.
To apply for aid, or to donate, go to hfwf.me.
The goal is to raise a minimum of $250,000 to provide about 10,000 restaurant meals.
