Donation and Distribution Center Lead

Haiku Distribution center

About Us

Pacific Birth Collective (PBC) is a community-based professional collective growing a network of service providers and island families dedicated to education,  support,  and advocacy for birth & wellness choices across Hawai'i. In the wake of the Lahaina fires, PBC immediately set up two distribution, donation, and healing centers for affected families to receive free support and supplies.  Our centers in Haiku and Napili-Honokowai have become vital to mobilizing dedicated volunteers to provide support to families. Our program encompasses free healing services, donation collection, order fulfillment, and package delivery directly to affected families and other members of our community.
