Welcome and mahalo for visiting our Community Gift Giving page! Young Brothers has a long standing tradition of supporting our local island communities in many ways, including in-kind gratis shipments, equipment donation, and participation in the Saltchuk Giving Initiative – Hawaiʻi Region. Find out how we can help your organization below! Young Brothers offers support to active non-profit, 501(c)3, organizations in the form of gratis shipments, which are in-kind services to transport goods on Young Brothers sailings. Over recent years we have regularly provided assistance to organizations in our communities make a greater impact. As a guideline, Young Brothers provides gratis shipping benefits to non-profit organizations with a focus on: Requests should be made a minimum of 30 days prior to the requested ship date, and approved projects must benefit the community at large. DO NOT USE THIS APPLICATION FOR MAUI WILDFIRE RELIEF. USE THE NATURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE SHIPPING PROGRAM. Young Brothers’ Equipment Donation program helps provide non-profit organizations with permanent storage in the form of used dry containers for a variety of projects and groups that support children, education, health, human services, environmental stewardship, and agriculture. Containers are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and may not be readily available for an event. ***Maui Wildfire Update*** At this time, Young Brothers does not have the equipment to support container storage requests. Priority for use of containers is to support the critical cargo and essential goods needed on Maui. The 2024 Giving Year is now open. Applications must be received by August 15, 2024. _____ As Saltchuk companies, we work together to make meaningful impacts in the communities where we live, work and serve. Our network of sister companies has a rich history of giving back, contributing an average of $2.5 million in cash and in-kind support each year. In addition to the significant support directed through our operating companies, in 2014 Saltchuk established Giving Committees in Alaska, Washington, Florida, and Hawaiʻi. The Hawaiʻi committee represents the three Saltchuk companies operating here: Young Brothers, Hawaiʻi Petroleum & Minit Stop, and Aloha Air Cargo. The Hawaiʻi Regional Committee distributed over $1,400,000 since it’s inception. Programs and projects making an impact in the areas of Post-Secondary Education and Youth Development will be considered for grants. The committee seeks to partner with organizations that make a significant and sustainable impact on their communities. Please share with us how we can help your organization make a difference. Grant recipients must be registered as a 501(c)(3) and serve the Hawaiian Islands. For questions please contact communications@htbyb.com.Community Gift Giving
