As the holiday season approaches, we at Palama Settlement reflect on another year filled with meaningful progress, community connection, and moments that remind us why our work matters. Since 1896, Palama Settlement has remained a steadfast pillar of hope and opportunity for the Kalihi-Palama community, uplifting individuals and families as they navigate challenges and pursue brighter futures.

This year has been one of continued growth, resilience, and renewed commitment to our mission. Together, we have reached milestones that demonstrate the transformative impact of a strong, caring community.

By making a year-end contribution, you help ensure that essential programs and resources remain available to those who need them most. Together, we can continue building a community where hope, resilience, and opportunity flourish for generations to come.

Palama Settlement stands on the Native Hawaiian ancestral lands of Kapālama and Honolulu. We acknowledge that in 1893, Queen Liliʻuokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom under duress to prevent bloodshed. We honor the generations of Kanaka Maoli whose knowledge systems and lifeways continue to steward the ʻāina, wai, and lewa, protecting the lāhui to this day. With a deep sense of kuleana, we integrate Indigenous values and traditions into our programs and services, fostering a community rooted in respect and resilience.
