Thank you to everyone who nominated a Hometown Hero! We’ve heard some amazing stories of those in our community that have gone above and beyond to help Hawaii.

Hawaii National Bank wants to shed a light on the individuals who go above and beyond every day to help their communities. For six weeks, we gave some Hometown Heroes $100 cash gift.
