Our goal is to collect 700 backpacks filled with school supplies to help local keiki start the school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported. These backpacks will be shared during our Stuff Da Bus Community Giveaway on July 19 at Shipman Park.
With the rising cost of living in Hawaiʻi, even basic school supplies can be difficult for many families to afford.
We need your help to make it possible for local keiki to start the school year feeling prepared, confident, and supported.

Donations help us purchase backpacks and essential school supplies for local keiki. Every contribution helps us fill more backpacks and support more students as they head into the new school year.
