Gifts sought for homeless keiki
Project Hawaii, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Hawaii’s homeless keiki, is accepting gift donations for 700 children on their Santa’s List.
Since Project Hawaii is unable to host their Big Island Holiday Christmas party this year, the organization will be doing a drive-through pick up for families who would have been at the party as well as conducting islandwide personal deliveries to those in outlying and isolated areas.
Donations will be accepted until Thursday.
