What Is Kau Kau Box?
We all kau kau, so why not do it in a way that’s healthy, convenient, and delicious? Kau Kau Box originated in response to the community’s immense needs during an unprecedented time. Kau Kau Box serves as a lifeline—providing fresh, wholesome, flavorful food for our kupuna, essential workers, parents, military personnel, and other community members who don’t have access to transportation and are working to make ends meet. In this time of social distancing, we’re bringing chef-prepared meals paired with fresh, local ingredients straight to your doorstep at an affordable price. Simply create the meals, use hashtags #KauKauBoxChallenge #KauKauBox, and get ready to grind.
Kau Kau Boxes feature a variety of produce, meats and fish that are locally sourced in an effort to support Hawaii-owned businesses. The boxes are handled and delivered with care by Hawaii’s seasoned hospitality professionals, all of whom are equipped with and required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and face masks. They’re also required to use sanitizer spray to wipe down the boxes and delivery vehicles.
Our Mission
The Kau Kau Box is the creative brainchild of Gourmet Events Hawaii, designed to serve the people of Hawaii in this time of need. We aim to bring fresh produce and prepared foods to families, support local businesses, keep hospitality professionals working, and help the local community stay healthy.
