KMS AMAZING SHAKE NATIONAL COMPETITION UPDATE.

We were able to get back with these talented young champions after their trip from Atlanta Georgia. Sharing their experiences and how it felt to be a part of the Amazing Shake National Competition representing KMS and Hawaii.

Kudos to their teachers, mentors, awesome Principle and of course their families! They had great leaders that guided them on this journey. These young individuals worked hard and shined.✨

We here at RCDH are honored to be a part of this memorable event as we continue to support KMS students in the future. Special shout out to for the coordination.

Today, members of the Rotary Club of Downtown Honolulu came together at Sam’s Club Keeaumoku to pick up and deliver over $4,000 in food supplies for KMS students and families affected by the recent SNAP benefit pause.

At Keʻelikōlani Middle School, over 60% of students are SNAP recipients, meaning these families are among the hardest hit by this pause in food benefits. Every dollar raised will go 100% toward helping students and families in need of food support.

Mahalo to Wade, Rob, Kathy, and Christine for helping bring the food donated to the school! Together, we’ve raised over $5,000 in just one week, helping bridge the gap for families who need it most.

Because of your generosity, we still have funds available to plan additional food drives if this pause continues. We’re also continuing to collect donations online to sustain these efforts in the weeks ahead.

💛 Every dollar helps us unite for good and support our keiki and community.

🔗 Donate here: https://rcodh.square.site/

💙 Tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 7) the Rotary Club of Downtown Honolulu will host a service project instead of our regular meeting at 7:00 AM at the KMS library to help pack and distribute all the food for KMS families.

If you’re interested in helping, even for an hour or two, please send a message to the group or reach out to a member of the club to join us!

RCDH has worked with KMS for more than 20 years. This is a school where almost 60% of the students are on SNAP despite the fact that most parents work. Many rely on food assistance to make ends meet, and with SNAP expected to pause, these families face greater uncertainty and reduced access to meals at home. SNAP provides an average of $343 per person each month, a vital source of food security for families across Hawaiʻi. When those benefits are interrupted, thousands of households, including many right here in our community, struggle to meet basic food needs. We are organizing an online fundraiser to provide immediate food assistance for KMS students and their ʻohana while the federal shutdown continues. All funds raised will go directly toward groceries and essential household items, purchased and distributed in collaboration with KMS staff and community partners. Rotary believes that when one part of our community struggles, we come together to lift each other up. Every contribution, large or small, helps feed a child, support a family, and strengthen our community. Through this fundraiser, we aim to ensure that every KMS student and family feels supported, nourished, and valued during this challenging time.
