As part of our ongoing efforts, we are honored to be able to partner with and provide support to Pu’uhale Elementary School, Helping Hands Hawaii Ready to Learn℠, and The Pantry by Feeding Hawaii Together.
Pu’uhale Elementary School strives to enrich the quality of community life by providing its students and staff an environment that is safe, nurturing, and caring. The school provides literacy, math, science, and technology support, as well as programs to develop students’ artistic abilities. We are excited to volunteer and provide ongoing support to our local neighboring school through sponsoring their assemblies, assisting with school improvement projects, and keeping their KALO Store* well stocked with the help of other donors.
*KALO store: Located in the school’s library, students can redeem their KALO Cash for real rewards! KALO stands for Kuleana, Aloha, Laulima and ʻOhana and are part of the school’s value system. Students may be given KALO Cash any time of the day when displaying appropriate behavior aligned with the KALO value system. This helps recognize and reinforce students’ positive behavior. We share the same values of Kuleana and Laulima and our ongoing goal for this partnership is to help keep their KALO Store well stocked with sports equipment, board games, and toys throughout the school year.
No child should have to go without school supplies. Helping Hands Hawai‘i®, through its Ready to Learn℠ program, provides thousands of local students (grades K-12) from low-income and houseless families with educational tools to prepare them for the classroom by partnering with social service agencies and community donors. We are proud to be able to support the Ready to Learn℠ program as a sponsor and are excited to assist this non-profit community organization within our local Kalihi neighborhood on their mission to equip students with the resources they need to succeed in school.

The Pantry, by Feeding Hawaii Together, is the only e-commerce pantry in Hawaii operating weekly, year-round, to provide fresh, diverse, nutritional food to the families of Hawaii. For over 20 years, The Pantry has been serving the Oahu community with a “grocery store style” experience, so clients can choose the items they want, when they need it. The Pantry has developed innovative ways to provide quality products for free and has become one of Hawaii’s largest food and product distribution services addressing the urgent issue of food insecurity and providing for the well-being of families. We are so grateful to be able to provide ongoing support to our local neighborhood pantry through volunteering monthly and helping to stock shelves, pulling/packing food orders and loading food orders into cars.
