Auntie’s Angels holiday events

Auntie’s Angels of Big Island celebrated three recent events for the holidays — a low-income senior luncheon and food handout, a pizza party of Hookena Elementary School with gifts for teachers and staff, and a teachers appreciation lunch at Kahakai Elementary School.

The charity’s main sponsor, Kona Elks Lodge #2616, and the community’s generosity made them all possible.
