URGENT!! Thanksgiving Collection Drive for Homeless Keiki-Kapolei

Save to Favorites

Aloha Everyone,

Project Hawai'i, Inc. is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers. Project Hawai'i, Inc., is run 100% by volunteers and solely supported by public donations. Our agency provides full time support, outreach and care to the children living in UNSHELTERED homeless situations. We are gearing up for the holidays to provide the children with a Thanksgiving meal, hygiene bags and other necessities that will help to make their lives a bit easier over these long winter breaks.

Statistics show that underprivileged and poverty stricken children rely solely on the school based free lunch programs, that mean....when school is out they don't get fed well or if at all. Our agency provides that extra support during these even HARDER times...times when families are supposed to be together to celebrate and gather for healthy meals. These children wonder if they will even be fed over their holiday breaks.

SO HOW DO YOU HELP??? Kapolei we need YOU!!

IF YOU WISH TO HAVE A PRE COLLECTION OF NEEDED SUPPLIES:

If your group/family/club, etc wishes to conduct a collection of needed supplies you will need to sign up for specific items to collect. Because I am going to be off the island for a large period of time, you will not be able to start your collection until after the 23rd of Oct...so, I am suggesting that you could start by collecting Walmart Gift Cards for $5.-$10. and then the families could purchase what they need most, or you can just wait until you are assigned an item(s). We can not just accept random items as we have no storage or space to properly organize such items.

A list of items would be

• Shampoo/Conditioner/Brushes
• Bar Soap w/plastic container, Washcloth
• Toothbrush/Toothpaste
• Bandaid boxes/First aid kits
• Dish Liquid/Sponges
• Gift Cards
• Canned meals/veggies, non parishable items that DO not require an oven to bake...
• Paper Plates/Bowls, Napkins.

Thank you again for your time and concern to help our homeless keiki for the holidays...and thank you again for your paitients while I am off island
