This event, held in Puna Makai, celebrates our local food ecosystem,with a focus on locally cultivated and harvested proteins.The main response heard from attendees at the 1st annual event last year was"When is the next one?!"So this will be the 2nd annual Smoke It Up,as branded last year. Local chefs will be creating original dishes featuring beef, lamb, pork, goat, sheep,venison,fish, and mushrooms—all Hawai'i-raised and sourced, including feral animal meats. Monies raised will go directly toward increasing food processing capacity in Puna, which can be utilized by hunters/trappers and local livestock producers to ensure the products enter the local food chain and provide a protein source to help combat food insecurity on this island.The event includes tastings, informational booths, music, and hula. *43. 501(c)(3) Mission Statement Malama 0 Puna is a Hawai'i nonprofit 501(C)(3)corporation and volunteer service organization that focuses on environmental health, community sustainability, and stability. Our mission is to protect critical habitat, native species, open spaces, and traditional cultural landscapes for future generations through hands-on projects, environmental education, advocacy, and networking. *44. In 1,000 characters or less, explain how the 501(c)(3) is connected to the project. Malama 0 Puna has made Food Security one of its primary activities, given that food insecurity is one of the district's biggest issues. Starting with food provision efforts following the 2018 lava eruption, which displaced many households,followed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which further disadvantaged the Puna population attempting to feed their families, Malama 0 Puna has engaged in projects designed to provide nutritious foods both in giveaway programs, backyard gardening programs, the establishment of community gardens/fruit orchards, and the development of a permaculture garden. Feral pig meat, if vetted for disease and properly cooked, provides an excellent protein source to help provide a nutritious food supply to the public. *45.
