Community Involvement

Community Giving

In 2009, HMSA gave $392,000 in monetary contributions, sponsorships, donations and in-kind services to 209 nonprofit and other community-based organizations. HMSA employees generously give their time and money to help these worthwhile causes.

United Way
HMSA employees understand the importance of giving back to the community. They have supported United Way for more than 30 years. Last year, HMSA employees on Oahu gave $241,000 to Aloha United Way through a pledge card drive, executive breakfast, silent auction, craft fair, bake sale, and flower sale. Neighbor Island employees also organized fundraisers to support United Way agencies on their islands.

Blood Bank of Hawaii
Blood donations help save lives. That’s why HMSA is a perennial supporter of the Blood Bank of Hawaii. In 2009, HMSA sponsored five blood drives at the HMSA Center, where employees donated a total of 377 pints of blood, surpassing the company’s annual goal.

Hawaii Foodbank
HMSA recognizes the important work of the Hawaii Foodbank to make sure Hawaii families don’t go hungry. Last year, teams of HMSA employees on Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island entered a spirited food drive competition to collect money and food items for Hawaii’s hungry. HMSA employees donated $19,390 and 6,150 pounds of canned goods and other nonperishable items to the Hawaii Foodbank for the holiday season.
