Lanakila Pacific’s Kupuna Wellness program helps seniors stay healthy and engaged through free classes that combine exercise, games, excursions, and a warm, nutritious meal shared among friends. Held at Aiea Public Library and Aiea United Methodist Church, the classes offer welcoming and familiar spaces for kupuna to gather and grow.
“We believe that remaining active physically, mentally, and socially are all important contributors to seniors aging healthily and independently,” said Program Manager James Li.
Participants like Clare Yasutake say the program helps her feel energized and connected. “I have children, but not companions,” Clare explained. “When I got invited to the program, it was so wonderful for me to meet people in my age range, do things with them, and chat with them.”
