Support Maui Huliau Foundation through October's bag credit program...
Every month, Mana Foods donates to different organizations. It’s really easy: whenever you bring your own grocery bag to Mana Foods, you receive a bag credit. You can donate this or take it off your bill. We felt inspired to dedicate the month of October to Maui Huliau Foundation and hope the following inspires you as well!

How a pipe-dream becomes a soulful reality & 40years of business ... A deeply personal interview with Ed Thielk, the founder of Mana Foods
In honor of our 40th anniversary we thought it appropriate to walk down memory lane and start at the very beginning! Cheers to the journey and 40 years of business!
“At the end of the day you need to ask yourself where is your life going? What do you want, and what do you need to make that happen?” -Ed Thielk
Mana Foods opened in 1983 and “back then it was this half-ass, half-renovated building that I rented for $160 per month.” -Thielk
Located in the same place Mana Foods is today, the initial space measured a mere 400-sq-ft, boasted a worn out cement floor, and an awkward accordion door. It lacked basic organization and aesthetic appeal, and seemed to have all odds against its survival. But, as irony would have it, this was the start of something very big.
