Built for Siskiyou County
Imagine what we could build if we actually did it together.
Ohana Connect is Siskiyou County's community-first business network, built for the people who show up, stay local, and believe that when one of us thrives, we all get a little further.
The referrals, resources and relationships we build here stay here, and they ripple through this county and come back around.
Ohana means family. And family takes care of each other.
Something New Is Growing in Siskiyou County.
We got tired of waiting for someone else to fix what's broken, so we started building it, one business relationship and one referral at a time.
In less than a year we helped pass Mount Shasta's Tiny Houses On Wheels ordinance, secured donated land for affordable housing, and brought local business networking back. It's already moving, and there's room for your business in it.

The People Behind Ohana Connect
Founded by two people who know what it takes to build something with community, and who believe that when local businesses win, everyone wins.
Aurea Wolf
Co-Founder, Ohana Connect • Energetic Brand Strategist
I built my first local business the old-fashioned way: through relationships, referrals, and showing up with standout service.
After selling it, life took me through some unexpected chapters: divorce, solo parenting, a health crisis. I rebuilt from the ground up and learned to work smarter instead of harder. That journey taught me that sustainable businesses are built by people who genuinely take care of each other. Ohana Connect is the community I always wished existed.

Afa Garrigan
Co-Founder, Ohana Connect • Community Organizer
I grew up on the North Shore of Oahu, where community meant showing up for each other no matter what. I carried that onto the football field at the University of Utah, through two undefeated seasons and two bowl championships, and into everything I've built since.
Mount Shasta drew me back six years ago and I've never left. I bring the spirit of aloha to everything I do: genuine love and care for the people around me.
When Aurea and I connected in 2024, we recognized the same thing in each other: a refusal to accept that families should have to choose between dignity and survival.
Commerce That Builds Community.
Ohana Connect is powered by Ohana Mālamalama, our community development mission working to create regenerative, affordable housing and family stability in Siskiyou County.
Part of every membership and Community Partnership goes to this mission. Members keep doing business the way they already do, and together it builds something bigger.
