Assisting Underprivileged Families Year Round
We are getting ready for our new “ADOPT A FAMILY” Season 2024 and are searching for companies or private people willing to support a family or individual. This year, we look forward to helping 200-300 families and depend on your kindness and generosity.
The Laulima Giving Program is a partnership between Keiki O Ka ‘Aina Family Learning Centers and KHON2. The essence of Laulima is to bring the community together, with many hands, for the good of others.
When you choose to join hands with the Laulima Giving Program, we provide you with the specifications of a single family and suggested gift requests. As a participating donor, we ask that you provide a $50 gift per person listed on the form. A meal, food basket, blankets, bed sheets, towels, household items, bathroom items, make up, socks, shoes, slippers, sport items, family games, beach games, new unwrapped gift or gift certificates are excellent ideas for gifts.
It is our hope that all participants, both the giver and the receiver, experience the true spirit of aloha through the kindness and generosity of their community.
For companies
How to apply?
If a member of your ohana is in need of support, the community can step in. You must have a caseworker, teacher, pastor, or someone outside your family email Michael.Wong@KOKA.org. They will then send a digital application to that person for you.
While we may not be the largest non-profit organization in Hawai`i, the Laulima Giving Program is committed to doing our best to help struggling keiki, kupuna, and `ohana throughout the state.
Applications need to be submitted by Monday, September 30th, 2024.
For community members
If you want to make a donation to a family you have seen on Khon2, please add the ohana code ‘under notes’. The note’s area appears AFTER you have set the donation amount and choose your payment via paypal or credit card and pressed NEXT.

This annual campaign begins in September
as caseworkers statewide submit applications for individuals or families who face new hardships due to disease, accidents, spousal abuse, single parenting, and various events that are out of their control.
Caseworkers will write a story describing the situation and make a list of what each person would like, such as new toys, clothes, shoes, sports equipment and other non-electronic items.
The concept is to bring families together and for them to know that others care and to encourage them to “pay-it-forward” when they are able.
Sponsors are requested by the Laulima Team and video vignettes broadcasted on air and online by our media partner, KHON2.
