Maui Soda & Ice Works, Ltd. selected the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center as the recipient of a $10,000 award from the Coca-Cola Bottlers Association Foundation. The Coca-Cola Bottlers Association Foundation rotates its donations throughout the country, and this year locally-owned Coca-Cola bottler Maui Soda & Ice Works had an opportunity to nominate local nonprofits for the award. Michael A. Nobriga, president and general manager of Maui Soda & Ice Works, Ltd. noted, “This award to the Nisei veterans project is our way of giving back to a group of men who were always there for us, and for the community. One of my fondest memories is working side by side with them at special events like the County Fair when it was at the old Kahului Fairgrounds. We would be there early delivering ice to the various booths, and the veterans would always offer some of their Teriyaki chicken plates. We had many 442 nd veterans who were long-time, valued employees of Maui Soda. “The Nisei Veterans center is going to be a resource for our whole community. It’s just like them to be taking care of our community.” The funds will be used to help construct Maui’s first Intergenerational Center, including a preschool and an adult day care facility. The adult day care facility will provide a nurturing day program for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, as well as physical frailties. The preschool will offer a program that includes many collaborative activities between the youngsters and the seniors. About Maui Soda & Ice Works, Ltd.
