Happy National Pancake Day! 🥞🌺 But who says pancakes have to be sweet? We’re celebrating with a unique twist: okonomiyaki made with our very own Baker’s Heart ʻUlu Poi Pancake Mix! 😋 Okonomiyaki is a popular Japanese savory pancake typically made with a batter and ingredients like cabbage, then customized with your favorite toppings and mix-ins. This creative recipe was submitted by one of our wonderful volunteers and shows just how versatile our pancake mix can be! Made with ʻulu (breadfruit) flour and poi (taro) flour, our locally inspired mix brings together two traditional island ingredients in a modern form. It makes light, fluffy, subtly sweet pancakes—but as this recipe proves, there’s plenty more you can make with it! 🌱 And like every Baker’s Heart product, there’s purpose behind the mix. As one of our employment social enterprises, Baker’s Heart helps provide meaningful job training and employment opportunities for individuals building brighter futures. Every purchase helps support that mission. 🩷 Ready to give savory pancakes a try? Find the okonomiyaki recipe at the link in our bio, grab a bag of Baker’s Heart ʻUlu Poi Pancake Mix, and make it at home! If you try it, be sure to let us know what you think! 🥞🍽️ @k_k_muna @kensukehorie @kosuke.horie by @touchaheart

Last week, we introduced you to Jonathan, former Chief Probation Officer for the U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services Office in the District of Hawaiʻi. Today, we’re sharing another way he continues to support our Touch A Heart ʻohana. 🩷 After retiring from federal service, Jonathan began a new career as a Wealth Advisor—and now generously shares his financial knowledge with our team as a volunteer. Through practical financial education, he helps our team members better understand topics like budgeting, credit, debt, saving, and planning for the future. For individuals rebuilding their lives, these skills can be an important part of creating greater stability and independence. At Touch A Heart, we believe getting a job is an important step—but lasting transformation goes beyond employment. Financial stability, supportive relationships, personal growth, and meaningful work all help build a stronger foundation for the future. 🌱 Mahalo, Jonathan, for continuing to invest your time, experience, and knowledge in others. Your service is a wonderful reminder that we can all use what we know to help uplift others. by @touchaheart

Reintegration takes a community. 🩷 We recently welcomed four justice practitioners and researchers from Japan for a meaningful exchange about rehabilitation, reintegration, and how communities can help justice-involved individuals build new futures. 🌏🌺 Coordinated by Takuya, a doctoral student at UH-Mānoa, the visit explored our employment social enterprise (ESE) model and how meaningful work, supportive relationships, and accountability can help create a foundation for long-term success. Our volunteer Jonathan, a former Chief Probation Officer, joined the conversation and shared an important reminder: the justice system cannot do it alone. Successful reintegration requires community organizations, employers, and others willing to support people as they move forward. Mahalo to Takuya, our guests from Japan, and Jonathan for this opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and strengthen our shared commitment to creating brighter futures. 🌱 taken in Touch A Heart by @touchaheart

🩷 Happy Grandparents/Kūpuna Day! 🩷 Today, we celebrate the grandparents and kūpuna whose love, wisdom, and guidance help shape who we are. We invited members of our Touch A Heart ʻohana to reflect on the grandparents who have made an impact on their lives. While each shared a different story, many of the lessons passed down were the same: work hard, respect others, help those around you, care for your family, stay hopeful, and keep going when life gets difficult. 🌱 From memories of picking flowers and selling lei together, to cooking for family gatherings, caring for loved ones, and words of wisdom that still provide encouragement today, these stories remind us of the lasting influence our elders have on our lives. Their impact extends far beyond one generation. The values, traditions, resilience, and aloha they share with us live on in how we care for others and in the lessons we pass along to the next generation. Today, we honor and appreciate all of the grandparents and kūpuna who have guided us, cared for us, believed in us, and helped make us who we are. Happy Grandparents/Kūpuna Day from our Touch A Heart ʻohana! 🌺🫶 by @touchaheart
