AMU is by far the best community organization I have to say hands down. I have been praising their work for the community from afar. They are out there doing huge things especially in our Polynesian community. Not only in the Bay Area, they also reach out to families in other cities in Cali. And for the first time this year, they came to The Lone Star State of Texas to extend their first blessing. Christine and Mama Sil came out to bless a wonderful family for the Cancer Awareness program. It was a shock to hear when she reached out and I knew Cre actually follows through so, it was an eye opener. I just started into a radio station for poly folks out here and it was such a cool time to interview Cre n Sil even through the difficult technical issues. Lol We got through it and of course we had a blast. When we met with the family, I stayed silent and watched these two in action. The passion to pursue this blessing was beyond me. I couldn't stop crying. My heart has never experienced this. Growing up, my family was always the receiver from people like AMU so being on this side along with AMU really gave me a different perspective in this service. I LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT. I THANK YOU AMU for doing the best work out here. Servicing and doing what GOD said for us to do. We will always welcome JT and AMU's vision here in Texas. I have plans to keep this vision of JT going and honor him and AMU because like I said...they are the best community organization I know that will come out of state and still bless. I love you guys. Keep up with the vision. Y'all are amazing. Alofa Atu!
I am always wowed by the depth of commitment, the quality of service and responsiveness from All My Usos. A small organization with a huge impact, their ability to bring together people in the Pacific Islander community and beyond never ceases to amaze me.
My kids have participated in multiple AMU programs such as Tahitian drumming class, golf and even robotics. I can honestly say my children would’ve never been exposed to these things if AMU didn’t reach out.
All My USO’s is an amazing non-profit organization. All the events that they hosted has brought so many families together. Seeing the impact, especially in these times, where entertainment and conversations are virtual. I’m glad to see and know that. All My USO’s are about the people and they’ve proven that to me in my experience. Their annual family barbecue was a great experience for me and I’m pretty sure other folks will say the same. So many services provided to the community that was literally free. All My USOs has been a blessing to me and my family and many more families!!! Thank You AMU!!!!!!
My name is Keresoma Laa and I've been involved with the All My Uso's organization since it started in 2015. I believe in the Vision of the Organization as well it's Mission Statement. Under the Leadership of Christine Maui'a she has made decisions consulting with the AMU Board Members.
Christine and her staff meticulously plan's out each year's event with the community and youth in mind very intentional and methodical.
As an active Board Member I honestly believe that Christine is making her husband Taupolo Maui'a Jr III very proud.
AMU began as a light to the Samoan community, and now has become a beacon to the Bay Area and beyond. AMU Annual Family Day BBQ of 2024 reflects the hard work of so many talented and selfless people from all walks of life – and all united for the same cause - providing hope, health, and healing to all and building our community. Being a quiet attendee for many years, it has been endearing to see the growth of this nonprofit and the lengths of which it goes to be inclusive and multi-dimensional. The Toddler Zone and Piefest S.T.E.M was a favorite for my 5-year-old and I was comforted to know she was in a safe area for her size; it was also welcoming to see a place for children on the spectrum that is in tune with their specific needs and sensory. I was thankful for the Registration due to the fact I was late to the Picnic, but yet, my daughter was still able to have her backpack and Book Box (a family favorite from last year). The Resource Zone this year was vast and impressive, and the fact AMU was able to gather so many resources under one event for US – made me wish we had more time to experience each table/booth. The vast information that many of us aren’t even aware is at our disposal is heartbreaking, and I am humbly grateful that AMU has brought it within our grasp. I look forward to next year and hope that I have enough time and energy to visit each resource available. Thank you AMU for another phenomenal Family Day, and look forward to bringing my children for years to come.
Free haircuts, great entertainment, lots of activities, very engaging family fun, delicious food, backpacks and more! Hoping to attend this event for many more years to come! Thank you for all that you’ve given back to the community, you are greatly appreciated!
This was my 1st event with my kids. My daughter was able to perform for her Auntie’s and Uncles with her Tahitian dancing solo. It was fun and amazing to get to come out and experience this amazing event. We will definitely be back.
This was my first time attending this event, I was so presently surprised. The level of organization, professionalism and hospitality was far more that I anticipated. I felt honored to be a part of this day and would love to continue to this for years to come
It was an honor to be part of the All My Usos event and supporting this wonderful cause. It was so heartwarming to see the community come together! Everyone was so helpful and hospitable from the volunteers to the neighboring table organizations. Very well organized, food was delicious, the Boba was yummy, and everyone was having a great time. The incredible turnout reflects how amazing this event is!
Thank you Christine and to the All My Usos Team! We look forward in being a part of continuing your husband's legacy and helping the community.
AMU is all about the community. They provide great resources and provide for the community. They just had their annual AMU BBQ with many resources throughout the community present and letting everyone know what resources they provide. It was very informative. They even provided free backpacks for school aged kids, free food for everyone, free haircuts, and free activities for the kids. This year was the best year yet, it gets better year after year. Thank you AMU team and we look forward to next year!
My experience with this nonprofit organization is outstanding and inspirational. Everything this nonprofit organization put together every year for the community and families for the community is very inspiring aspirations and a blessing to our community. I recommend much need it donation for this nonprofit organization named AMU stands for All My Brothers And Sisters in our Samoan Cultural. I had witness everything this nonprofit organization and all it's volunteers do for their community and I'm very proud of Christine Mauia And Our Beloved Brother JT Mauia And All The Volunteers For All there hard work for such an amazing and awesome service for our entire community. I also like to say that all of the vendors and our children are also amazing and a big blessing with the food and mainly the entertainment that they provide for the community. So please provide resources and donations for this nonprofit organization because I highly recommend the service they provide for our community.
All My Usos is deeply rooted in community and provides exactly what we need. This organization is an excellent place to give resources because they will go to the people who need them most.
AMU is the only true no strings attached org that simply provides a place for us to gather,
Celebrate our culture, keep our culture alive, congregate and share space in a positive large group setting. The fact that they keep everything free keeps the event a true attraction for the underserved Pacific Islander community. We don’t have any other gathering like this all year.
ALL MY USOS says it all in their name. It’s another saying for NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND. They are here to help everyone wether you need food shelter guidance education but most of all they do it for the CHILDREN. I recommend everyone to reach out to them for any assistance. If they don’t have the answers, they will get you one.
AMU don’t stop, won’t stop! They do everything to upbuild and grow our Pacific Islander community! Their recent Family Day BBQ on 8/19/2023 brought out over 1k people! All FREE! Free Food, Drinks, Vendors, Backpacks, Haircuts, Books, Carnival Games, Jumpers, Facepainting, Music, Entertainment and more! AMU has been doing this “Unity” day in memory of JayTee Mauia since 2014 (Jaytee’s cancer free BBQ). Each year it grows bigger and better. The attendance is growing as well.
AMU also has other programs such as Ribbon of Hope, Ray of Life, Blood Drives, Mealofa Box distribution, and most recently their entrepreneurial program PACIFIC. They also have future programs for healthy eating, grief and loss groups for families, and so much more!
This is a GREAT organization because their board members and staff have a true heart for the people! I see you AMU! Thank you for blessing our community!

All My Uso's is all about community and caring. They throw a yearly FREE community event including free food, free backpacks, free haircuts for the kids, free school supplies, free entertainment, and free activities for the kids. They put together back pack drives giving away free books, backpacks, food, t-shirts, Covid PPE supplies, and Covid testing/vaccinations. They plan 2 to 3 blood drives per year, saving lives. They raise money and donate to families battling cancer. They recently did a Holiday basket giveaway for widows. Their heart for the people should be commended and they should be recognized. They are doing what others won't do. Great job All My Uso's. Rest in Love to founder Jaytee Mauia.

I wholeheartedly recommend supporting All My Usos in any way possible, whether through volunteering, donating, or spreading the word about their incredible work. Together, we can be a part of the positive change they bring to countless lives. Thank you, AMU, for being a guiding light and reminding us all of the power of humanity.

I truly enjoyed being a part of this event! There was more than enough food and activities for everyone! Families will not get bored, the best part was everything was free and the volunteers were very welcoming. I loved how families were camping out and stayed the whole time. I loved the backpack giveaways and the free haircuts. The jumpers, the nacho stand, boy I can go on and on and on. So many festivities to engage and interact with.

I have pretty much been involved in many events within the Pacific Islander community . All my usos did a amazing job during this event.. the resources that were provided definitely helped our community. I also enjoyed the fact that the vendors we're diverse and provided a lot of resources for our community . Everything was catered to the community from providing backpacks for children, returning to school, and also haircuts that were provided for free. Although our Pacific islander community is small in numbers, we carry strong, cultural values . Thank you All My Usos and great job.
It was an awesome positive experience with great company, community resources, food and games. Loved the staff and their readiness to help drive ppl back n forth. I loved it, will be back for more.
Gods Blessing to you all for your work in the community and to those with special needs.
I have participated in a few of the community events. To see the smiles and laughter among the community is what makes each event you put on a wonderful event to attend. Each and every time!

Rest in love uncle JT and all love and blessing to you guys AMU.
AMU has been providing assistance to the community for years from backpack giveaways to blood donations and plenty more. They also blessed my family with numerous necessities when my husband passed away as well as a monetary gift. The members of the organization give with their hearts and ask for nothing in return. AMU is a true blessing to the community.
This organization is a blessing to our community! They offer so much that is needed like the free community events, giveaways, blood drives, cancer awareness events and even created a widow group showing love and support to those who lost their spouse! Cre is amazing for all that she does and the entire AMU organization! Thank you for allowing us small businesses the opportunity as well to put ourselves out there!! There’s just so much you guys offer that we are so grateful for!!
AMU has given back to the community in so many ways!! From helping families that are fighting against cancer, blood drives, giving school supplies out to the kids, feeding the community.
The annual BBQ has become a big event. Supplying all the food, different activities for Adult and kids, but most of all a safe and fun event they have put together. I'm sure the community looks forward to.
The story and the heart work of AMU is so inspiring. It's been exciting to watch the organization grow and thrive from helping those affected by cancer to having free family events. They truly make the community feel valued and loved. Looking forward to taking our kids to this year's candy explosion!
All My Usos (AMU) Is the best non profit organization there is! Founded by JT MAUIA in 2015! Every year since AMU has helped a lot of families battling cancer or families in need of anything showering them with love, support, gift baskets etc! Each year that passes AMU grows bigger and stronger with helping the community not only the Polynesian community but people of all colors Everything is FREE FREE FREE from AMU BBQs to BACK PACK GIVEAWAYS to BLOOD DRIVES and now HALLOWEEN CANDY EXPLOSIONS everything free and they never expect nothing in return!!!!!! Thank you AMU (Christine Mauia, JT MAUIA (RIL) for all that you do for my family and the whole community I'm looking forward to many more years..
From the first AMU backpack bbq, I have wanted to help volunteer. This was the first year I was able to help volunteer at the backpack bbq. It was truly an honor to be able to be part of this event. At the bbq, free backpacks filled with supplies, books for reading, free haircuts, free food for the everyone came all together for the purpose of serving the community. Seeing all the different vendors, volunteers and community leaders all come together for the sake of the kids and community. There is a real sense of serving and seeing all the smiles on the faces of the kids and families that came just brought real joy to me. AMU does so much for our community. Community is not just for the Polynesian community but for ALL community. AMU helps and brings the community together for so many different things from events for the kids, blood drives, and family functions. AMU does all these things without wanting anything in return. The people that attend the events go away with love and appreciation for AMU and for all that they do for the community. I look forward to ALL their future events and I look forward to being able to volunteer at those events.
They give with wanting nothing in return. Their program of Ribbon of hope helps so many families going through cancer. AMU also throws a community bbq - FREE. They give away backpacks filled with school supplies, books, free haircuts and a bbq lunch. Solely to fellowship with the community. Congratulations AMU!
I am beyond honored to receive the love, compassion, heartfelt gestures, gifts and most of all prayers from the AMU (All My Usos) organization which I am very comfortable and proud to call my family!
My family & myself were very overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of AMU. I can’t express my gratitude enough but I wish abundant Blessings in return AMU is truly a Blessing to many whom are battling Cancer. I am grateful for the founder (JT Maui) may he RIHP and now his wife Christine Mauia continues to carry on his legacy. Thank you, thank you AMU family. Love and Appreciate each one of you ❤️
All My Uso’s aka AMU is an amazing organization!! Founded in 2015 by Beloved Jaytee Mauia (RIP). This organization has grown and continues to flourish!! What once was just a family bbq has turned into THE FAMILY EVENT OF THE YEAR.
The annual AMU BBQ is a family day for the kids right before the school year kicks off. Families come out from all over the Bay Area to enjoy a fun day in the park. EVERYTHING IS FREE! yes you read that right! EVERYTHING IS FREE! This event provides FREE food, drinks, desserts, haircuts for boys & girls, carnival games for the kids, educational activities, cultural presentations, face painting, backpacks, books and more!! This past year they even gave out At Home Covid Test kits. All Free!!
Every year in October AMU fundraises for those battling Cancer. 100% of this fundraiser goes to the cause. AMU visits families that are going through the hardships of battling Cancer. A small token of appreciation is given to these families from this fundraiser to be a blessing! They give the families: money, gift baskets, flowers, toys for kids, or whatever it is they can do to help.
Every year AMU hosts Blood Drives to help motivate Polynesian people to go out and donate blood. It is very uncommon for our people to donate blood BUT there are many benefits to donating that people do not know. Did you know that Giving blood can reveal potential health problems??? Did you know that just 1 person giving blood can save up to 3 lives?!!!
AMU partners with organizations all over San Francisco to help make a difference in our community. May God BLESS this organization ten fold!! These guys are putting work into the community and every year it shows. The proof is in the pudding yall better ask somebody!!!
Ever since AllMyUsos started their Family BBQ, I make sure to mark it on my calendar every year. It’s literally the place I feel most welcome!! What AllMyUsos means to me is Family. The way they give back to the community, have the free events for the kids and so much more… it’s such a beautiful thing to be able to witness. Mr. Jaytee Mauia, your wife and this community are really working hard to keep your vision alive… and I don’t see it going anywhere but UP, anytime soon! Thank you all for what you do, and you can count me in at the next event with me and the family ❤️.
This year was my first experience participating in the annual AMU BBQ/Backpack giveaway event. To say I was honored would be an understatement. AMU is such an amazing group to be a part of! The love and support they show to the community speaks volumes! I am very grateful having the opportunity to give back to our community and I could not have done so without the platform that AMU has created! I am looking forward to participating in all future events
All My Usos has been such an amazing resource for our community here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Serving the needs of our people on a both small & large scales. They show up when there is a need and they lend a hand any way they can. They collaborate with others to serve the best way possible and they support others who are also doing community work. Two of my favorite projects that AMU hosts are 1. Supporting families who are battling cancer & 2. Supporting widows with love gifts. Both of these efforts always inspire me to love on folks in my own circle that are faced with some the same storms. Thank you AMU for being the hands & feet needed in the community. We love ya'll & hope that AMU will be around for many many years to come.
AMU is a grassroots organization that really looks out for ways to support our communities the best way we can through annual community bbq's, community health fairs, as well as youth back to school programs.
I've been a part of this Great Organization since the inception of the idea by our Great Brother JT Maui'a. I believed in the vision of this then and I continue to live and believe today.
I want to Thank the Uso JT for believing in me and trusting me with his vision even after he transitioned to the next life.
If you are searching for a down to earth group to partner up with look no further.
AMU is amazing! They’re pillars for our Samoan & Pacific Islander Community in San Francisco. They serve our children in numerous ways from being members of the SFUSD Matua Parent Advisory Council, backpack giveaways, school supplies to advocating for them. Christine, Soma & the leaders very supportive. They are resourceful & informative bringing awareness to our community. Their annual BBQ brings our folks together which is a beautiful thing to see. AMU, thank you for everything you do for our community & students!

AMU is an organization that supports the community. A group of volunteers from the communities they serve and giving back to make it a better place for others after them. Every event is free for low-income families but not limited to. We work hard to get community resources and highly depend on donors, volunteers and other community leaders to make this work. Families come in as a visitor or client but end up giving back, serving the people and doing what they can to pay it forward for another family in need. JT (RIP Founder) & Christine
I showed up at one of AMU’S BBQ, as a visitor and an acquaintance of the Founder, the Late JT Mauia and his wife, Christine.
I think it was their 2nd annual BBQ. This was a FREE BBQ for the Community! Everything was FREE, free food, free water, soda and juices! Free face painting, free haircuts, free Backpacks with school supplies! Free entertainment, free music! There were games , jumper’s for the kids, arts and crafts booths! It was FREE to the community and to the Public. You did not need to show proof of residency, you did not have to give your name or address, you were not asked to “join” anything, you were not handed any brochures. This was truly a BBQ for the people given by local people who care for their communities! The AMU BBQ was billed as Come as you are, come and enjoy good food and good company! No stress and always drama free. AMU board members donated all the meats , ribs, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs. Family and friends were asked to bring a side dish and a case of water.
As I mentioned before, I came as an acquaintance of JT and Christine! At the end, I became much more than an acquaintance, I became a good friend!
I brought my side dish and case of water and left as a committed volunteer for AMU’s backpack giveaways! I’ve been volunteering now for several years. It warms my soul to know I am able to contribute in my small way to help AMU deliver on their VISION of uniting their communities regardless of race, color or religion. AMU board members are comprised of Polynesians and are about raising awareness not just for Polynesians but for ALL people in need.
2020 was the first year AMU did not have their Annual BBQ because of COVID. However, COVID did not deter AMU! We had a Drive BY to pick up your school backpacks loaded with school supplies, without getting out of your car! AMU had food giveaways, free T Shirts, free books and even offered free COVID testing and eventually AMU offered Blood Drives if you wanted to donate blood!
There are a lot of volunteers who wholeheartedly love what they do, there is a lot of behind the scenes work that has to be done for an event like this to happen, and it’s all because of the AMU Boardmembers who work on the daily. A special thank you to Christine Mauia, who works tirelessly in honor of her Late husband, JT Mauia.
He had a Vision, and that’s how AMU came to be. Thank You, Adele Seau
AMU, this organization is always willing, giving their time & energy of serving the community, people and wherever there’s a need, AMU is THERE! They enjoy helping others and not expecting anything in return.
AMU will always find a way to be a blessing and helping others. Much love and God’s continued blessings over AMU to continue to do the work that they do.
AMU is here for the community. Always trying to find a way to give back.
Never would of thought I'd be in the position to help out in a positive way... Thank you AMU......
All my Uso’s continues to support in giving, donating, supporting in different areas to the communities. This non profit reaches diversity of all different backgrounds. They’ve been a massive effect to the communities all over the bay area. My family have attended there gathering picnics. My kids received backpacks full
of essential supplies for school and free bbq. I love that there aim for the community has reached throughout all cultures in any walk of life. They’ve given back recently to widows who’ve lost there husband. It’s been so touching just be a witness to see the love they share. Thank you A.M.U for giving back and supporting us.
This charity is so AWESOME! I attended a barbecue they had in San Francisco and they went above and beyond for the community. Everything was free of charge, open to all, showing love to folks from all over. We traveled from Long Beach and it was worth the drive. My cousin Christine invited us in honor of her late husband. This organization helps people from all over, and they give from their own pockets. TEAM WORK is what they do to get things done. The love shown to us was so heart warming and we had so much fun! Thank you AMU for all that you do for everyone! We appreciate your organization with a whole heart....God Bless
All My USOs is a nonprofit that is very dedicated to its community and has been consistent in providing those in need in various ways like holding blood drives, providing school supplies, and even a toy drive during the holiday season.
AMU has always been a special event to be a part of to me.. it’s the family nest and brother JTs vision that keeps me coming back to help volunteer when I can . AMU recently helped me and my family during Thanksgiving I usually don’t ask for help I just usually make it happen. My husband suffered a bad seizure that put him out of woke for a minute and I was very greatly for AMUs help during a difficult time . Don’t be shy , blessings come back around . Thank You AMU❤️
Amu is a wonderful organization !! Amu reached out to my mom who was battling cancer and came all the way to Sacramento just to put a smile on my moms face and for that we are forever thankful for AMU
All My USO's the most giving non profit organization. In memory of Brother JT Mauia his vision... his loving wife Christine and brothers continue to bring to not only the San Francisco community but worldwide. Health Awareness..Blooddrives..Back to school backpacks and supplies..community BBQ and participations with other community groups just to name a few. It never stops. They strive to make our world a better place. We appreciate all you do.

I’m of Polynesian descent, and I’m so proud of AMU for reaching out to Polynesian communities with support and awareness in the many avenues of life. The dedication of AMU is astounding!! School supplies, backpacks and other school essentials, food drives, dinners, blood drives & educational information to those unaware what’s available to them. Supporting widowed spouses with love, comfort & holiday baskets to let them know “They care”. In my days growing up, this was not available to us, so we missed out on a lot of educational opportunities. AMU is family! who will always be there when needed. Countless times I’ve cried at their superior achievements with the support and care given to Polynesian communities. I will always support AMU.
