WHAT WE DO

We want to give you back your time to spend with ‘ohana. With work, school, life and everything in between, we believe those extra moments at home are best spent together. We want to take the time-consuming tasks of dinner shopping, cooking
and cleaning for your kupuna off your plate by we cooking, packaging and hand delivering meals straight from our kitchen to your table. Our ingredients are fresh and local, prepared by our talented and hardworking kitchen staff, and delivered by our dedicated volunteers. Our registered nutritionist is staffed to ensure that our meals promote the best and healthiest lifestyles for our loved ones, even if they may have challenging dietetic and nutritional needs.

OUR GOAL

Hawaii’s Silver Tsunami is here! Hawai‘i’s population is rapidly aging. In 2010, persons aged 60 and over made up 20.6% of the state’s population. This share is projected to increase to 28.5% by 2040 (Hawai‘i State Department of Business Economic Development and Tourism, 2014).
Our goal at KTKF is to create strong partnerships with likeminded organizations and agencies in the community to make sure the growing number of kupuna receive the nutritional resources they need. KTKF aims to support the local community by promoting civic engagement and increase awareness of the needs of the elderly and their caregivers. We want to make dinner a time to relax and enjoy by relieving the stress of shopping, cooking, and ensure each meal is delicious and healthy.
