Default Part 91 or 135?

What do you think this qualifies as?

I want to help the local community of Kalaupapa with basic transportation. They live on the Island of Moloka'i, Hawaii. Their only options for transportation are to trek, by foot or mule, 3,000 foot cliffs and hike 7 miles to the nearest town. There are flights available, but they're either expensive or on the operators schedule.

So, I propose that I put most of my money that I earn towards operating a 172 to fly them in and out of Kalaupapa, or where ever they please. Every flight would be for free, so their would be no compensation or hire. Would this qualify as providing a service?

Also, if I wanted to start a ministry(non-profit) to fund my flying expenses, would that qualify as a 135?

I just want to help the people with minimal paper work.
