Help Keep Homeless Keiki Clean & Healthy-Fundraiser Collection

Save to Favorites

Project Hawai'i, Inc., is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers. We are solely supported by public donations. Our agency provides services throughout the year to homeless (unsheltered) children living in extreme poverty. We are conducting our AFTER summer outreach and helping to assure these children are able to stay clean and healthy as the school year.

Our goal is to be able to provide these children with monthly food boxes, hygiene bags and other necessities they need to "survive" while being homeless.

This fundraiser will allow us to continue our efforts and support their ever growing needs. We are seeking volunteers for 3 hours on Saturday

August 15th & August 29th 10:20 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Manana Community Park/Overpass walk way across the street.

1310 Waimano Home Road- Pearl City

All volunteers will be doing the same task.

We are holding awareness signs and nets to collect donations from donors.
