Celebrate Mahalo May with our Partners!
In May we give special mahalo (thanks) to six community non-profit organizations (five in Hawaii and one in Las Vegas) that are helping those in our community that need it most. Each week a portion of the proceeds from the Kokua Pac will be donated to the designated organizations below:

Week 1, 4/28-5/4: Kapiolani Medical Center Children’s Miracle Network
Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children has been Hawaii’s only Children’s Miracle Network hospital since 1984. This means 100% of the money raised in Hawaii stays here to help our keiki, regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Gifts to Kapiolani Children’s Miracle Network support meaningful programs and services that otherwise would not be possible.
Week 2, 5/5-5/11: Child & Family Service
