Aloha Cares Foundation is a community-first nonprofit initiative headquartered in Palmyra, Pennsylvania. We exist to meet real, practical needs in our region — from a child who needs school supplies, to a senior who needs a ride to the pharmacy, to a family who needs groceries the last week of the month.
We don't chase headlines and we don't overpromise. We focus on quiet, repeatable, well-run programs that our neighbors can actually count on.
Louis Franklin Diegel is the founder and director of Aloha Cares Foundation. A longtime Pennsylvania resident with family roots in both the mainland U.S. and Hawaii, Louis spent more than two decades in community service — coordinating food drives with local churches, mentoring youth through after-school programs, and organizing wellness events for older neighbors.
Louis started Aloha Cares to give the volunteers, donors, and partners he had worked alongside for years a shared home — a small, trustworthy organization that could keep the good work going in a more sustainable way.
