Project Hawai’i, Inc. is a volunteer staffed nonprofit run by public donations. We are gearing up for Christmas for hundreds of homeless children. Our Christmas Wish Program has been providing holiday wishes for children who would otherwise go without for 19 years on the island.
We have a few fundraising events coming up and need a few people to help make it a success. Your 2 hours allows us to create awareness of the crisis we face here on our island and raise funds to keep our holiday events going.
Volunteers will all be doing the same service project of holding awareness signs and nets to collect donations for the community. We meet at the First Hawaiian Bank parking lot in Prince Kuhio Plaza at 11a, end at 1 p.m.
Please consider donating a few hours to bring Christmas Cheer to our homeless children.
Volunteers:
1. Bring a water bottle
2. Wear comfortable walking shoes
3. Dress for the weather. If it rains too hard, of course we will cancel or cut short
4. Option to wear a fun holiday hat
5. Bring a friend too!!
Open to groups, families with children (usually 10 and above work fine), company employee teams, individuals.
OPTIONAL:
If you want to host a fundraiser or collection before hand, please connect with us and we can let you know what is still needed. PLEASE DO NOT just bring random items. We fill Christmas Wishes and provide hygiene, stockings, etc... but need to keep everything coordinated.
