Hilo/Big Island ~ Christmas Cheer for Homeless Keiki ~ Fundraiser

Aloha,
Project Hawai’i, Inc. is gearing up to provide the homeless children with their Christmas wishes and hot nutritional meals for their long winter break. We need YOUR support!! Add even more fun to the event and wear a HOLIDAY HAT...
This project allows YOU to help make all this possible. You. are the Secret Santa behind the scene that fills the homeless children's heart with joy. With hundreds of homeless children hidden across the island, we need your support to assure they are all delivered to. Mahalo for your time.
Did you know that homeless children and those living in poverty stricken environments have many social issues at school all because they are not clean or have enough to eat. Did you know that homeless children and those living in extreme poverty rely solely on their FREE Lunches at school? When school is out, these children go days with a meal. We provide the children with their holiday support along with their Santa gifts delivered by the north pole elves.
Over the past 20 years, Project Hawai’i, Inc. has been a strong foundation in the healthy growth of our homeless children. Christmas is a huge event that allows each child to feel they are WORTH IT... they are not forgotten or left out of the holiday cheer.
If you want to start a fundraiser on your own prior to the event, such as a penny or coin drive, or a social media drive, please let us know. You can make a difference. We can make an online goal chart to easily share on social media. Hours are given for this as well.
