Often times in desolate lava fields the resilient ʻōhiʻa lehua tree is the first sign of life after a devastating flow. The ʻōhiʻa lehua with its strength, stature and ability to thrive in a variety of climates is symbolic of the work of the Big Island Substance Abuse Council.

BISAC

Over the years, BISAC has supported the success of numerous drug court participants. Drug court admits only those individuals who have the most difficult legal and substance abuse problems. In most instances, drug court is the last resort before prison. BISAC has helped these people turn their lives around by providing treatment services which reflect impressive knowledge and skill. Also noteworthy, has been BISAC’s flexibility and compassion in making the extraordinary effort to give a participant the chance to be successful.

BISAC has been an ongoing supporter of the Hilo Y’s Men and Women’s Club Annual Christmas Tree Sale. True to BISAC’s spirit of community-indedness and service, they provide much needed man-power to unload, trim, and display our Christmas trees. They also assist our customers by helping them select and carry their trees with a true spirit of Aloha. Their invaluable help, along with other volunteers, make our Christmas tree sale possible each year.

God’s blessings to you!
