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.

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

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 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!

I usually don't like to send donations through the mail and prefer to support directly to the organizations though they had a fun way to draw in the fun along with the event by having a Gachapon Fund-raiser Prize Machine with each spin is a $1 and decided to go at it with five spins for $5 as each capsule contained stickers along with some small prizes and others a alphabet winner that you can choose on a rack that was donated by the various vendors at the Kawaii Friends Fair. What a fun concept and so worth it as it goes to their Back to School Fundraiser and in hindsight wished they had a collection box as well for the additional needs for kids heading back to school as I do have and worked with teachers who has expressed how some kids show up without supplies and clothing as well is heartbreaking so lets come together to support our community and make a difference.

I contacted them and they responded quickly. My bee issues were gone in 2 days flat! Not only that, they had incredibly interesting stories, were very knowledgeable about bee habits and bee-havior (sorry about the pun, I couldn't resist). It made the entire crisis very worthwhile and fulfilling. I'd hate to say that I want more bees to come into my house so I can do it all over again, but honestly that would be great! Another point I want to say is that they don't just kill the bees... they adopt them . They save as many of the bees frok the hive as possible for relocation and they even let me name the queen. How cool is that! AAA+ service and friendliness. Definitely recommend you go with them.

Jasmine is great. We noticed a swarm of bees in our backyard late in the day. Because they were…read morehoneybees, we had to find a someone to remove them.

Nothing personal…read more.. This location no longer exist...I had errands in the nearby area and though that driving a bit further do drop a huge bag of donation would be perfect so only to realize that this location no longer has The Salvation Army Donation Center drop off sadly as this Kalama Valley Shopping Center is a great location to place a bit with lots of parking space making it a super easy and quick drop off. Not sure what other Salvation Army donation drop off has in this location but there is a Goodwill container here though that as well wasn't open or occupied by a staff and can't be sure if it's staying here as well. Drive down to Hawaii Kai as they have Green Drop and Goodwill as well that has staff ready to accept your items. Thank you!

This school is AMAZING! This school opened when Hokule'a began her voyage around the Globe sharing…read morethe message of MALAMA HONUA. This schools mission was founded on that simple purpose. My son attends MHPCS, one of the first 41 to attend when it opened. It was very "grassroots"for lack of a better word in the beginning. But turned out sooooo awesome!!! There was so much love from the student family's and the community -we all wanted to see it grow! Not to forget the dedicated & fearless faculty , it was definitely due to their hard work n late nights. Here's our review: . My sons class only had 10kids in his whole GRADE!! So the attention he received truly helped him excel! They push the academic curriculum, so he was in kindergarten, but learning 1-2nd grade applications. I was surprised he could actually do it. Small classroom n attention is really the key. Also, they take what they learn in the classroom & in the second half of their day do "outdoor" or "hands on" activities to show how it applies to LIFE. They also do Huakai(field trips) like every week! Compared to My daughter who is in public school in kailua went on TWO field trips during her whole school year, lol. MHPCS takes keiki to regularly work in kalo, beach clean ups,horticulture, and farms. PARENTS will also have to volunteer a couple of hours during the year. Sometimes on the weekend. -They offer free/reduced lunch. -Nut Free school -Do not send child with unhealthy snacks, kumu will send it home.lol -offer A+ -if ur a family in dire need, don't be afraid to ask for help with school supply's etc. Sometimes it happens with big family's -just ask. If can can. -be prepared to volunteer. Bc u will. -morning starts with piko,so get there by 730am -THEY HAVE AIR CONDITION!!!! Woohoo! This keeps my son and our family engaged and to really apply these things in our own life.
