Cups of Kindness is HiCO’s way of giving back to the everyday heroes in our community. Through this initiative, we deliver free cold brew and lattes to local service workers—from grocery store clerks and EMTs to firefighters and police officers—as a small thank you for the big role they play. It’s our way of spreading aloha and appreciation, one cup at a time.

At HiCO, we believe a thriving community starts with a clean environment. That’s why we’re proud to support CLEAN Reward$—a local initiative that unites community members to clean up Hawai‘i’s beaches, parks, and public spaces. In return, volunteers earn coins that hold real dollar value, redeemable at participating businesses right here in Kailua-Kona.

To date, CLEAN Reward$ has helped collect over 11,000 lbs of trash from our coastlines—and counting. As part of the effort, we gladly accept CLEAN Reward$ coins in our café as a small way to say mahalo to those helping to keep our island clean and beautiful.

At HiCO, our commitment to clean oceans extends beyond our island home. That’s why we proudly donate to The Ocean Cleanup®, a nonprofit organization working on a global scale to remove plastic from our oceans.

Founded in 2013, The Ocean Cleanup® is developing advanced systems to clean existing ocean pollution and intercept plastic waste from rivers before it reaches the sea. Their innovative work aligns with our values—protecting our planet for future generations, one step at a time.
