Hilo, Hawai’i – The Arc of Hilo was the most recent beneficiary of the Ohana Fuels “Fuel Up. Do Good.” Community Giving Program.  Ohana Fuels partners with nonprofit organizations that serve the needs of the local community, and donates a portion of every gallon of gasoline purchased at Ohana Fuels stations in that community.  The total donation to Arc of Hilo was $6,549.90 from gasoline sales during the 1^st quarter at all Ohana Fuels locations and proceeds from carwashes held during the quarter.
