Project Hawai'i, Inc. is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers and solely supported by public donations.
We are gearing up to provide over 350 homeless keiki with their holiday Christmas party in Hilo. We are seeking a few volunteers who can help at one of our donation collection dates at the Safeway in Hilo.
Your duties would include talking with the customers at they enter and exit the doors of Safeway.
looking for those who are OUTGOING... will be able to be interactive, happy and help collect donations or toys from the donors...
Other requirements.. must be able to stand up for the entire shift and TALK with people. You don't need to be pushy, but do need to be able to greet everyone as they walk in or out.
Typically saying "would you like to help a homeless child?" to everyone!!!
Then of course, if they ask how, you would be able to explain what we are looking for, and accept their donation (typically spare change or a few dollars), some will want to go and buy a toy/gift and bring it back...
Our coordinator brings her son, and he is SUPER great greeting everyone, you would be positioned at the other door and do the same. Looking for up to 4 people to come and help out.
If this is NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING TO DO... and you still wish to inquire about our organization or how to help with a different aspect, host your own drive, etc... please tell me when responding.
DATES:
November 25th - Saturday and
Dec. 3rd- Sunday 10a-1p only 3 hours!!
Please DO NOT take these few slots open if you are NOT WILLING TO FUNDRAISE and talk with the people. This is not helpful to anyone and wastes our efforts.

Description
Project Hawai'i, Inc., is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers to enhance the lives of children living in poverty situations on the islands of Hawai'i. Our public supported charity works year round to provide necessities to children living in substandard housing situations, such as tents on the waters edge, abandon vehicles, and make-shift structures hidden in the bushes and hills.
Our agency provides children with holiday parties, meals and services for all the major holidays including Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Other monthly services include providing emergency support, hygiene, food, clothing and outreach to the children living in homeless situations on 3 of the islands of Hawai'i, the Big Island (Hawai'i), Mau'i and O'ahu.
Project Hawai'i also provides educational and nutritional programs that include after school reading and tutoring programs and our summer camp activities. Children will also receive full back to school support from new backpacks filled with supplies, new outfits, and shoes. We also provide other educational needs throughout the year.
Project Hawai'i Summer Camp has ran for 15 years and won several dozen awards in nutrition and educational support. This program is our largest endevor and evolves year after to year to include even more learning opportunities to our keiki.
