This holiday season, you can make a meaningful difference in the life of a Hawaiʻi family facing hardship. By sponsoring an Adopt-a-Family, you’ll help provide gifts, essential needs, and the joy of knowing their community cares.
Your kindness brings hope, dignity, and holiday cheer to keiki and parents who may otherwise go without. Together, through the spirit of Laulima, we can ensure every family feels the warmth of aloha during the holidays.
KHON2 and the Laulima Giving Program jumped into action when a Kalihi ‘ohana lost its roof due to Lala.
The Laulima Giving Program has donated $5,000 to support a family whose home suffered severe damage and lost its roof during Tropical Storm Lala.
This contribution reflects the program’s commitment to helping communities recover from unexpected hardships by providing timely financial assistance to those in need.
The donation will help cover critical repairs and recovery expenses, offering much-needed relief as the family works to restore the safety and stability of their home.
Through acts of compassion and community support like this, the Laulima Giving Program continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.
The Laulima Giving Program brings companies and individuals together to help families here in Hawai`i.
The Laulima Giving Program, a vital lifeline for our local community, has served over 437,000 individuals here in Hawaiʻi. We’ve been able to assist struggling keiki, kupuna, and ʻohana throughout the year, thanks to the generous donations from people and businesses. Our program, one of the many at the Keiki O Ka ‘Āina Family Learning Centers, a recognized local nonprofit organization, depends exclusively on these donations. Donations include cash, school supplies, clothing, shoes, household items, new unwrapped toys, and gift cards.
Families are in need of gift cards from Costco, Walmart, and Target, as well as from supermarkets, restaurants and theatres. This year, we aim to raise over $1.000,000 in cash and in-kind donations.
Through partnerships with local businesses and people in the communities, the Laulima Giving Program has served nearly 400,000 people since 1996 and will continue its efforts in its mission to respond to those facing hardships in the hope that one day, when they are able, they can pay it forward.
Mahalo Nui for considering a donation to Laulima Giving Program.
“For me, it’s an incredible honor to be a voice for individuals and families in need, to be able to tell their stories to viewers who are moved to give and help them through a most difficult time.
I am just one link in a program that for so many years has played a vital role in helping those who are suddenly thrown a wrench, a challenge, that sets them back unexpectedly.
But Laulima can only help as much as the public gives and it’s been incredible to see how generous people are, even through the worst of times.
I am so grateful to be even a small part of this movement, this synergy of helping hands.”
The Laulima Giving Program depends solely upon the kind and generous donations from the local business communities.
It receives no other type of funding. The donations help underserved keiki, kupuna, and ‘ohana throughout Hawai’i.
We respond to the basic needs of people; items such as bedding, household items, new clothes and shoes, school supplies, supermarket, gas, retail gift cards, etc.
We will contact you with the next steps.
Tax receipts are gladly offered.
The local Fox Affiliate, KHON2, has been a dynamic media partner with the Laulima Giving Program.
Its broadcast support has taken this program around the state and worldwide. Their airtime, volunteers, and production donation have delivered our messages at the highest professional levels possible; we are humbled and very grateful for that.
The Laulima Giving Program is one of the many community-focused programs managed by Keiki O Ka ʻĀina, a local Christian Native Hawaiian nonprofit organization. It depends solely on the kind and generous donations from local businesses and individuals in the community.
