Today we will continue our Sustainable Leaders series and have a Talk Story with Phil Acosta with Aloha Harvest. We will learn about this amazing nonprofit focused on eliminating hunger by preventing food waste. How their process works, how to get involved and what their future looks like for our community in need. Phil assumed the position as Executive Director of Aloha Harvest on September 2019 and has since modernized their fleet and doubled its staff. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic crisis, Phil has led the Aloha Harvest team to step up and meet the community’s growing need for food assistance, nearly tripling the volume of food that they redistribute throughout O’ahu, and quadrupling the organization’s operating budget. Prior to Aloha Harvest, Phil and his family started up their own nonprofit organization in Jan 2016, providing homeless services to under-resourced communities on the North Shore, Central and Leeward Oahu, serving as one of the founding Officers and Executive Director and he currently volunteers as the Governance Chair for the Waikiki Health Center Board of Directors. In his previous lives, Phil managed several enterprise-level IT projects with the Hawaii State Department of Human Services and US Department of Defense. He was also as an educator for over 10 years, working with children from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th grade.

Aloha Harvest Rescues Food with Phil Acosta

Today we will continue our Sustainable Leaders series and have a Talk Story with Phil Acosta, the Executive Director at Alea Bridge as we zero in on the Homeless Epidemic here in Hawaii. We plan to understand the Homeless situation, learn about what’s working and how we can solve some of these homeless hurdles. Some may be wondering how this is related to sustainability, well for those of you who don’t know, one of Hawaii’s sustainable sectors is Housing, Affordable Housing at that. The Homeless struggles we face as a state is something we must address for Hawaii’s Future and its people. Phil is currently the Executive Director of ALEA Bridge, an emerging Non-Profit agency providing homeless services on Oahu. Along with his sister and 2 brothers, they have built up the organization from 2 unpaid volunteers 3 years ago, now with an Operations staff of 13, a Leadership Team of 20, and a volunteer base of over 200 people. They are now looking to expand their Outreach services and Housing programs to reach more people, especially in rural areas that have historically been under-served for many years. One of their big initiatives is the Wahiawa HoM Program, a collaborative, community-based initiative with a focus on Central Oahu, North Shore, and portions of Koolauloa, and Leeward Oahu, to address the homeless, health, and housing issues that is impacting the residents of these communities.     Phil was an IT Project Manager for several years prior to ALEA Bridge, working on various enterprise projects with the State Department of Human Services and the US Department of Defense. Prior to that, he spent 10 years with the Department of Education. He and his wife just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. They have 15-year old twin girls. One will be an incoming Senior at Mid-Pacific Institute, and another who is gearing up for college!  Phil and his family work tirelessly, day-in and day-out to provide amazing services for those without a home. Their big hearts touch the lives of those who lose hope and with that love, Phil and his team are able to save people at their bottoms and bring them back to a place they can call home.
