Living with Aloha in Ellettsville: Hawaiian Snack Shop Invests in Local Youth through Live Aloha Keiki Club

 The Hawaiian Hoosier Snack Shop is proud to announce the launch of the Live Aloha Keiki Club, an initiative that teaches local keiki (Hawaiian word for Children) to live their lives with the Aloha Spirit and the value of community, family, and giving back—all with a touch of fun!

Founded by Stacie Marotta, The Hawaiian Hoosier’s mission is to bring a sense of togetherness to Ellettsville through unique Hawaiian-inspired snacks and community-focused events. The Live Aloha Keiki Club was created to invest in the local youth, offering them fun, engaging ways to give back to their community. The program is designed not only for community service but also for fostering family bonding and creativity.

“Our goal with the Live Aloha Keiki Club is to instill strong family values and show our local children that giving back can be fun and meaningful,” said Marotta. “We want to help families spend quality time together while teaching kids the importance of kindness, community, and service.”

The Live Aloha Keiki Club meets on the second Tuesday of each month with exciting and impactful activities planned. Here’s what’s coming up for October:

• October 12th, 11 AM: The kids will create dog toys from old t-shirts to donate to local animal shelters.
• October 26th, 11 AM: The Keiki Club will host a fall celebration, featuring pumpkin carving and other autumn-themed activities.

Parents are encouraged to register their children for the pumpkin carving event. Families who register will receive a free pumpkin for their child/children.

All events are free of charge and open to the public—no purchase is necessary to participate. In addition to the Keiki Club activities, local vendors may also be present selling crafts, and The Hawaiian Hoosier will have lunch and snacks available for purchase.
