MOANALUA GARDENS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

The Moanalua Gardens Community Association (MGCA) was established in 1960 by like-minded neighbors who wanted to give a voice to their community concerns without the regulation of City Neighborhood Boards. Join us in creating a vibrant and connected community!

MGCA meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 PM

via this Zoom link.

We welcome to our meetings Moanalua Gardens residents, neighbors, community members, and others who have interest in making our community a better place.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
