Helping Hands was so much closer to where we live compared to Salvation Army or Goodwill. I like that Helping Hands is truly a nonprofit organization because they don't sell your donated goods to the people who need them. People can come get the goods for free at helping hands. Staff were always very friendly and helpful with unloading my car. They are also very good about giving me the tax write off forms. (Salvation Army has you go to a website to get tax form and I couldn't even create an account successfully on the website. Kept getting error message.) Helping hands drop off times are Monday to Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM so the drop off window is pretty limited.

    I have been working with this organization for over 20 years. They have been helping the community…read morefor the past 50 years! Amazing! I always refer my clients there to get free household goods such as bedding, pots and pans, dishes, etc. I always drop off my donations there. Every Christmas - they have Adopt A Family and I love seeing our clients get items they wouldn't be able to get for their family since it is so expensive living here in Hawaii. They also have the Ready To Learn program which gives students school supplies for the upcoming year. They have other programs so please donate any household items or give a monetary donation if you are able! Thank you Helping Hands Hawaii!

    A wonderful volunteer organization!…read more Check the website because each day of the week they typically are routine with the location and time frames for cleanups. It isn't only cleanups, they handle restoration and land management by preservation, teaching, and so much more. Kimeona and his team are well versed and well organized in what they are doing. They have equipment so when you arrive, after you fill out the documents online, you are ready to go. Of course prepare by getting a good meal in you, staying hydrated, bring water (they also supply water but bring your reusable water bottle), comfortable clothes and shoes, and be prepared to "give back"! I love learning history and culture and the oli and taking care of the Aina. I don't want to give away too much, but at the same time I want to share everything. I have been volunteering with this team, mostly at the same place, although I met up at Magic Island and it needed, for a couple of years. My takeaways, it's personal for me.

    I was reminded that "people" were the last thing that came to the islands. That means everything…read moreneeds to be respected. When people come visit Hawaii, they think about the beaches, food, partying, etc... People don't think about the impact it has on the ecology. We decided to pay our respect to the land that we enjoyed by helping clean it. This organization was more about teaching what is around us versus just picking up garbage. We first removed evasive trees along the river. The cool thing was that we moved the branches to a different area that feeds certain Beatles. Then months after the tress/branches were stepped on and crushed to be part of the earth. After about an hour and half of work we took a little environmental tour to learn of the necessary ecological balance needed for the islands. We saw the last type of a certain succulent, we saw endangered shrubs, and Hawaiian bees that are also endangered. We go to Hawaii and take, this time we gave back

They have been especially helpful to me and my family for nearly 25 years! From 32nd Street Naval Station, San Diego, to Command Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan, and Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, most of all the staff and volunteers are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and can personally relate to all of the concerns each service member, spouse, or dependent has! As long as you have a current DoD ID card, you are eligible to access all of their resources. And why not?! There are no out-of-pocket costs for their services and they are a wealth of information! If you're a Military Spouse and your service member is either Separating or Retiring, I highly recommend the Military Spouse Transition Seminar. Basically covers transitioning from Active Duty to the Civilian world (i.e. how to be the best support system for your soon-to-be civilian member). I opted for this class, instead of attending the DoD Transition Assistance Program (TAPs) with my active duty member, because it's only 1-day (instead of 3-5 days), it's spouses only, and thanks to the USO, coffee, snacks, and lunch are all provided throughout the day for free! The Military Spouse Transition seminar covered the following topics, in 1-hour increments: -Healthcare: TRICARE, Pharmacy, Dental -VA Benefits & Services: Healthcare, Memorial, GI Bill, Home loans, Survivor Benefits -Financial Planning: TSP, FICO, Excel worksheet -Relocation: PCS pack out, temporary furniture, travel advance -Employment: Resume building, LinkedIn -Wellness & Support: Yoga, Mindfulness This class is currently only offered once every quarter, so plan ahead and register well in advance through the Great Life Hawaii website. The class I attended was full! If you still have questions after attending the seminar, you can either attend the TAPs class or contact the expert team member for a one-on-one appointment. The MFFS building at Pearl Harbor Hawaii is located in the Moanalua Shopping Center in between Ruby Tuesday's and 7/Eleven. Parking is free. Thank you, MFFS!

The venue was great- there is a stage and dressing rooms behind it for dancers to change. Bonus- a long bank of mirrors in a nicely lit room so we could do our make up. The outside women bathroom had enough stalls to accommodate us without having a super long line. The food was pretty good -looks like it's by The Catering Experience ( at least that's what the napkins said). The staff were very nice and were very good about clearing the tables. The AC kept cool, in fact a little too cool! It's a very nice place to hold gatherings and celebrations!

    Over 35 years…read more That's the amount of time it took for me to come to Hawaii Okinawa Center (HOC). Opened in June 1990, HOC was built in recognition of the Okinawan immigrants to Hawaii. Born and raised in Hawaii, there is a strong Okinawan community celebrating many events. Although some may think of the distance to this venue, it's a little over 25 mins from town. I recently came to HOC to celebrate a relative's wedding. I was quite impressed with this venue as it's quite spacious with multiple entrances. Although 35 years have passed the interior was simple but bright for this joyous occasion. Food, drinks and entertainment were all arranged by the families so you get to select the theme and create the atmosphere you wish. It was a casual wedding reception that was able to facilitate about 400 people. It was a Hawaiian themed menu where the buffet line was controlled by the steward who escorted attendees by tables. Venue was large enough to have multiple stations providing food, dessert, drinks and entertainment. I initially was planning to partake in the photo booth but the lines were too long so I ended up passing. So why not 5-stars? The venue could have been updated more for a more modern vibe. Also, the parking lot cannot accommodate large scale events so regardless we arrived before the event, many of us had to seek street parking and then walk over. Overall, I found HOC a fairly decent venue for a get together. I wouldn't hesitate to RSVP to another event at this spot. The drive over from town is tolerable and once again, a great facility to bring people together for an occasion.
