Giving Tuesday: Support Ninth Island Aunties With Leilanis Attic

Giving Tuesday is one of our favorite days of the year—one where the spirit of aloha and kōkua (helping others) shines bright across the Ninth Island. And this year, Leilanis Attic is celebrating in a special way that brings our Las Vegas ‘ohana closer together.

From now through Giving Tuesday, Leilanis Attic will match every digital gift card purchase—dollar for dollar—with a donation to Ninth Island Aunties.

Why Giving Tuesday Matters to Our Hawaiian Community

Las Vegas is home to the largest Hawaiian diaspora in the world—over 50,000 local residents with island roots. When one family needs help, our community steps forward. That’s the foundation of aloha spirit, and it's the heart of Giving Tuesday Las Vegas community support.

Meet Ninth Island Aunties: Serving Alo—One Family at a Time

Ninth Island Aunties is a grassroots community service organization powered entirely by volunteers. Though designated as an AAPI organization, they welcome any family in need. During the pandemic, volunteers supported approximately 70 households with grocery deliveries, quarantine assistance, and comfort for families navigating illness or loss.

Through national giving campaigns, the organization raised funds to serve about 100 families during Thanksgiving and Christmas—ensuring they can celebrate just like everyone else.

How Leilanis Attic Is Giving Back This Year

Leilanis Attic has always been more than a Hawaiian shop on the mainland. We’re a gathering place, cultural hub, and home base for local islanders. So this Giving Tuesday, we’re making it easy to give back in a meaningful way.
