The OVCA strives to provide quality services and enhance the quality of life in rural Hawaii. The non-profit corporation receives no capital or operational funding from the county or state of Hawaii. Funding for the OVCA relies on Membership Dues (Individual $30/year; Family $50/year), Donations, Building Use Fees and Grants when available. The OVCA provides Members a bi-monthly Newsletter, free computer lab use, discounted advertising and free DVD checkout.
