Frfr—We desperately need small, gently used furniture for our furniture bank! Think side tables, comfy chairs, small dressers, desks, shelves. We are located on the 2nd Floor, so all furniture has to be able to be carried up and down the stairs easily. Not sure if we will take it? Call us at 808-935-6393 for more information. Or dm us here!

✨ Carrying the Spirit of Giving Into the Holidays ✨

Mahalo to everyone who joined us at the Givers Gala—your generosity and aloha spirit lit up the evening and continues to shine across Hawai‘i Island. 🌟Entering the holiday season by honoring nine incredible nonprofit employees and volunteers with awards and staycations that recognize the heart they put into serving our community. 💖 These individuals remind us what true giving looks like and keep us grounded in gratitude. 🙏
