Help Feed Homeless Keiki Fundraiser-Thanksgiving Support Needed-VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Save to Favorites

Aloha and welcome to a life changing opportunity for our homeless keiki. YES!! You can be the change they need to succeed!! I was selected as the COC's homeless and hunger awareness chair to help raise awareness of the crisis our homeless children make and to help these children learn to make healthier choices. Our agency has also won the summer nutrition award consecutavly since 2009. We can not do this without support like yours.
Many people don't know that 1/3 of the children in Hawai'i are HOMELESS!! Yes, they do not have a place of their own to call HOME like you and I. Did you know that 89% of children in public school rely on the free or reduced lunches/breakfast system??? Yes, that is an outstanding number of children who may not have nutritious meals over their holiday breaks... like Thanksgiving!!

Please look at the dates below and see which ones you can volunteer at to assure a homeless child enjoys a hot and wholesome meal this holiday season.

Then will be positioned along the sidewalks and intersections to collect donations. Volunteers will be walking back and forth throughout the shift.
