An amazing place…read more.. McDonald's was one of earlier jobs that I worked while I was still in school and as it was corporate back then it was tough though always a great experience and as I learned about some of the things they do for the Ronald Mcdonald House I was much younger back then had no idea what it does for the community. Fast forward to the 2025 and hearing that they had a 5K charity of a day that I'm usually off I was so excited to register and participate in this even only to fully miss out on it unfortunately and was off island shortly after than and received an email of my tote that was unclaimed and asked if I was still interested in it which of course I was and was delighted to have a chance to claim it and pick it up right here on Judd Hillside Rd and since I was there I just had to pick up a few items to donate along with a bunch of brand new plushies that I loved but knew that it had more love to share as well. Nothing brings me greater joy than to share and give joy to others and though it was a small gesture it really made me feel happy and hopes that all the items will give comfort and love at their time of need. Thank you!

Give back to your local community partners!…read more This is a great nonprofit to participate and support as they are easy to contact and schedule time with a team and come by to help or donate. They are always posting material items on Instagram or social media showcasing what they are needing. Upon arrival, they let you know what you may need to do to help out. They offer convenient times around busy work schedules, which is great. You may paint, assemble bags, prepare something in the kitchen, whatever fairly simple projects are needed for the home... Knowing you are able to put a smile on the face of a child is amazing. What these kids and families go through, most may never have to and the majority are unable to imagine. Taking a moment to give time to help as a volunteer goes a long way! This location does not have parking but please do not let that deter you from helping as they do provide a shuttle to and from the facility.

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

Every time I've stopped by to drop off a donation of food items, the employees and volunteers have been very helpful. Parking is very limited, with all the trucks and other equipment in the lot, so it's good that someone is usually outside to help. They allow me to stop at the front, and even bring a dolly and unload the food from my car to bring it in. They will also provide a written donation receipt, upon request. With the number of families losing their homes and everything during the recent storms, it's reassuring that the Hawaii Foodbank will be there to help provide relief.

It takes a special kind of person with dedication and commitment to operate a successful program like this. Including loving, caring, understanding, compassionate and grateful. Sounds easy but I can tell you it's very hard work just as a volunteer. There's a lot of behind the scenes support from the team like truck drivers on the road all day to the warehouse crew providing logistical assistance day in and out. Administration and Management to the custodians and maintenance people keeping things clean and running. MAHALO PLENTY TO EACH AND EVERYONE. You're the BEST! Never go hungry.

Donation for a good cause…read more.. I drove past this Green Drop trailer on Kamehameha Highway as I headed towards the Ewa side of the island and thought: "Hey! This is something new!" Located along the line of Food Trucks in the parking lot where Sears used to be (look for the red and white Leonard's Malasadamobile), Green Drop is a familiar name because there's a trailer in Kaneohe at Windward Mall! Same idea! Bo was very helpful when I walked up to turn in my package of stuff. I was already in the system, so he entered my phone number onto the tablet, and I received a confirmation email with a printable receipt. That's so efficient! Bo stated that the two Savers on Oahu work in conjunction with Green Drop, which is a national company. The funds raised from donated goods go to various charities such as The Red Cross. Ahhh... interesting! I am motivated more to purge and visit the other Green Drop locations in Kapolei and Kailua! Note: this location opened on 8-1-24.

This Pearlridge Center location is very easy to find as it shares space with other food trucks in the former Sears location making a drop off easy with lots of free parking. They seem to accept anything from clothes to household goods and the staff there is ready to help you if you have a lot or any heavy items, love to see these Green Drop trailers more and more around the island as making the drop is easier than purging items that I know I no longer need. Thank you!

My volunteering experience at the River of Life was truly remarkable. Registering for volunteering…read morewas very quick and easy. We went to the River of Life for a group project, I am in 7th grade and came with my dad not knowing what would happen. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and appreciated. The kitchen had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the staff was knowledgeable and were the sweetest people you've ever met. They are so close to God and make sure that everyone who eats their food has a great time. Seeing my group members so engaged and having a great time was fantastic. After two hours of volunteering, we were finally able to taste the food we helped prepare. It was so good and I highly recommend volunteering at this center and can't wait to return!

They can always use helping hands. So if your organization such as work, church, or whatever it is, do contact IHS for good cause. I do understand that we have mixed emotion about homeless etc. but sometimes you do for people who are wanting to help who are in need. So think of it as you are helping the good people. I spent 3 hours on a Saturday and staff were so appreciative and offered us snacks and water. Oh I learned that this location is for women. IHS on Nimitz is for men. And I'm not going lie, when I got to this location to check in at the counter I didn't feel safe. But once I went inside the building and met with other volunteers I was okay.

Purging, recycling, donating, and reusing in Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. In an attempt to place all GreenDrop locations on the Yelp map, I drove way out to this pod... This smaller donation site is stationed in the shared parking lot with Kentucky Fried Chicken, GreenDrop was occupied by a lone female. She was a bit pensive, so I asked if I needed to give her my phone number. She picked up the tablet and said she had to restart it. Hmmm... Eventually, I gave her my phone number where I received an email with the receipt. I can print it out later. There are other GreenDrop locations to discover... it's for a good cause. This Ewa Beach location has United Cerebral Palsy on the side of this pod.

Well this Green Drop location is in the lot of Ewa Pointe Marketplace where KFC is the most visible tenant from the street. Not sure when I'll be back in the area again but know that this is a convenient location to conveniently drop off your items at your convenience with lots of free parking. Thank you!
