Aloha,
Project Hawai'i, Inc is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers and solely supported by public donations. Our agency is gearing up to provide over 350 homeless children with a holiday Christmas party and we need your help at one of our collection sites.
HILO SAFEWAY 10a-1p Nov. 11th & 25th (25th still needing a set up coordinator)
We are going to have a collection table at the Safeway Center in Hilo for the following dates. Volunteers will be able to assist at the table, ask the customers to help support our efforts and hold awareness signs to collection donations on the sidewalks/entrances, etc.
We are seeking those who are outgoing and can stand for the 3 hours. Be open and energetic to interact with the public. If you are shy or don't like talking to people, this is not for you and WILL WASTE our time.
Our goal is to collection toys from our wish list, healthy snacks and some meal items on the list.
If you would like to have your own collection beforehand and bring said items to drop off, that too is perfect! I can email you a list and make a flier for you to share. As well we can have a goal chart to help you raise funds via social media if you wish.
Thank you for your time and we hope you can join our efforts to bring holiday cheer to our precious homeless keiki.

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.
