The Lokahi Giving Project provides people with opportunities to relieve the burden of struggling individuals and families, especially the working "gap group," through donations of goods, cash equivalents, enriching experiences, and advocacy.
Description:
The Lokahi Giving Project is a unique partnership between Hawai'i's number one news station, KHON2 and the family-strengthening non-profit organization Keiki O Ka Aina Family Learning Centers. We lend a helping hand to those who face a life crisis or emergency situation beyond their control. Not only assisting the poorest of the poor, but also the struggling gap group not qualified for assistance by any other programs. Thanks to support and aloha of generous individuals, businesses, organizations, and the people of Hawai'i, the Lokahi Giving Project continues to make a lasting difference in people's lives through such programs as The Lokahi Tree and our Adopt-A-Family Program.
History:
Established in 1985 by newscaster Leslie Wilcox and Mariellen Jones, we have given a "hand up" to hundreds of thousands of children, elderly, underprivileged men and women during very difficult times. Working hand-in-hand with over 125 non-profits, social service agencies, shelters, group homes, and hospitals, we help the most deserving families and individuals.

The agency was informative and kept me updated on any changes. I learned that even when I think I don't have enough there are others that have way less than I do. I've come to appreciate all the little things in life. Something so small as a ball can be a GREAT gift to someone less fortunate. I've learned that I am alot better off than many.
