Halloween at Hale ʻIki 🎃✨

This past weekend, our families at Hale ʻIki enjoyed some spooky-season treats thanks to the generosity of our community! Mahalo to the County of Hawaiʻi for donating pumpkins for our participants to enjoy and to our amazing shelter monitor Conrad and his ʻohana for putting together Halloween goodie bags.

Want to help make more moments like these happen for Puna keiki and their ʻohana? Our Annual Gift Giving Event is coming up, and we need our community’s help!

Through our Annual Gift Giving Event, parents can choose holiday gifts for their children at no cost. You can help make that possible by donating new, unwrapped toys, wrapping paper, or monetary contributions.

Every keiki deserves the joy of opening a holiday gift. Our community can help make that happen.

Last year, thanks to generous community support, Neighborhood Place of Puna provided holiday gifts to 450 keiki across 142 households on Hawaiʻi Island.

This year, we hope to reach even more families, and we’re inviting our community, local businesses, and community partners to be part of making it happen.

We’re collecting monetary donations and new, unwrapped gifts to help parents choose something special for their keiki this holiday season.

📅 Annual Gift Giving Event: December 14–15, 2026
🎁 Gift donation pickup deadline: November 20, 2026 (please schedule pickups in advance).

Will you help us make the holidays brighter for local families? Your contribution, whether a monetary donation or a new gift, can help create meaningful holiday memories for a child in our community.

Not knowing where to turn when life gets hard can be pretty spooky.

Whether you’re looking for basic necessities, navigating housing challenges, or trying to find support for your young person, Neighborhood Place of Puna is here to help you explore your options.

From our Mobile Family Resource Center and Neighborhood Place Resource Centers to Hale ʻIki, Family and Youth Outreach, and Puna ʻŌpio Hub, we connect families and youth with free, strength-based support to help them navigate life’s challenges.

Not sure where to start? That’s okay. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Call or text our Community Resource Navigator at (808) 501-1413 or visit neighborhoodplaceofpuna.org.

Save this post or share it with someone who could use a little kōkua.

Need a little kōkua? We’re coming to a neighborhood near you!

Check out how we supported our community last month in September 😀

Our Mobile Family Resource Center (MFRC) is all about bringing support closer to you.

We visit neighborhoods, schools, and community hubs across East Hawaiʻi to help families with minor children connect with free, confidential resources.

From food, diapers, and hygiene supplies to housing support, resource navigation, and parenting resources, we’re here to help families find what they need.

So, where are we headed next?

Check out the calendar at neighborhoodplaceofpuna.org/mfrc to see where the MFRC will be in the community next!

We update our calendar regularly, so check back often.
