Who we are

Cooler Crops began as a middle school engineering project in 2025. The Cool Greenery Girls participated in the NexTech Hawai’i Fishtank design competition in April, and in December, Luka successfully secured a donation to launch the idea into reality.

Now with the help of community volunteers, Cooler Crops has a goal to put over 100 gardens into our island community to address food insecurity, promote healthy eating habits, and recycle waste refrigerators.

If you’d like to help, contact us or make a donation.
