New Partnerships...
We were able to collaborate with the Ma'i Movement at the yearly Christmas Donation Jam in Wai'anae on Oahu
We were lucky enough to partner up with the Hawaii Food Bank who have agreed to distribute our packages to select middle and high schools that are in dire need of products on the island of Oahu. The specific schools so far have been listed below!
Young students from Hawaii Pacific University started a fundraising group to help us reach the goal of expansion. A huge shoutout to Talia Vasquez the coordinator of the group, Caelin Callejo, Christiana Bayani, and Jonalene Ganitano for allowing Wahine Kokua to take this extra step.
Our Beginning...
June 2020
Ending of 2021
We started reaching out to family and friends towards the end of June 2020. Here we are in 2021 with close to 14k in donations which have made over 14,000 care packages that went to 15 homeless shelters, women outreach programs, and middle schools across the island of Oahu. We are striving for the goal to soon be able to reach the other islands of Hawai'i
