Beacon -Be the One to Light the Way

05/01/2026

Before April comes to an end, we wanted to share the incredible outcome of this month’s drive.

In just five days, $1,000 worth of essential items were purchased and delivered, directly supporting 30 individuals across six families. Coordinated from over 4,500 miles away, this effort marks the largest and fastest donation drive ever executed entirely by our dedicated volunteers on the ground!

Thank yall for showing up for Oahu🌴🫶🏼🌺

We are incredibly grateful to have been personally selected by one of our state legislators as one of the few nonprofits invited to the Ironworkers’ 40th Anniversary Scholarship Golf Tournament. Thanks to their generosity, we received a $1,500 direct contribution and raised an additional $1,000 in donations during the event.

Thank you so much to our community for believing in our mission and helping us continue to serve those less fortunate!!✨

This year, our goal is to raise $1,000 to provide Christmas gifts for the 41 houseless children living at Puʻuhonua o Waiʻanae. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making their holiday a little brighter. We invite you to join us in spreading joy and hope this season. Together, we can make a meaningful difference!

We partnered with Aloha Diaper Bank for this drive and what a success it was! Together, we collected 1.6K diapers and 2.5K wipes for unsheltered children on Oahu’s west coast🌊✨

On Sunday, we delivered the 1.2K lbs of donations collected over the last month to 250 people living unsheltered on the westside of Oahu. We walked in at the exact moment residents were expressing their concerns about running out of resources. God always puts the right people in right place at the right time. Thank you to all who contributed✨
