Project Hawai'i, Inc., is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers. We are solely supported by public donations. Our agency provides services throughout the year to homeless (unsheltered) children living in extreme poverty. We are conducting our AFTER EASTER outreach and helping to assure these children are able to stay clean and healthy as their long holiday break is over.
Our goal is to be able to provide these children with monthly food boxes, hygiene bags and other necessities they need to "survive" while being homeless.
This fundraiser will allow us to continue our efforts and support their ever growing needs. We are seeking volunteers for 3 hours on Saturday or Sunday

April 12th 10:50 to 2:00
