Molokai Occupational Center

The Molokai Occupational Center in Kaunakakai serves as more than just a thrift store—it's a vital community resource on the island of Molokai. This unique establishment offers an authentic Hawaiian shopping experience while supporting a greater mission of occupational training and community development. Located at 250 Home Olu Pl, this center has become a treasured part of Kaunakakai's close-knit community, offering gently-used items at affordable prices while providing vocational opportunities for local residents. What makes Molokai Occupational Center special is its dual purpose of serving both shoppers and the island community. Unlike commercial thrift stores, purchases here directly support local programs and services. The friendly staff—many of whom are program participants gaining valuable work experience—create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that perfectly captures the aloha spirit Molokai is known for.
