Project Hawai'i, Inc.

UPDATE: Over the past months we have been able to provide over 200,000 meals, 50,000 hygiene support bags, send 250 homeless children back to school with all their backpacks filled with supplies, new outfits, shoes, and even the funds for them to purchase their school sweatshirts. We have been able to place 23 families in homes, donate 5 vehicles. For Christmas we delivered to those stranded and didn't have resources to stand in the lines to choose a gift. We provided the full elf delivery experience for these precious children. ..and so much support....

NOW.. we are working on keeping native families on the island, help with their needs to obtain housing and stay in the community safe and secure.

Many might not realize that families are still living in the streets, on beaches and have no services or funding outside of those like us who are on the group providing free services without financial support.

Please kokua (support) our efforts

Our volunteer team is assisting with the development and needs of the unsheltered families to help them with their immediate needs and housing. 

As the crisis developed over the past few days our agency has been working one on one with individual families who have not been able to be in shelters. 

We have housed families, provided support to those who have been stranded and away from support. 

We are partnering and working with the nurses to provide infant care, diapers, formula and support. 

Working with our team to match families with those who have extra housing options. This even resulted in having a family of six with a new born to be off the streets on the second day. 

Furthermore we are developing a village style living on a private land owners property. This includes portable restrooms, showers, emergency supplies and food.

Your donations make this possible.

Once we get over the immediate crisis period we will continue to outreach to all those left homeless and find solutions.

Running the Honolulu Marathon has been a dream of mine, and this year I’m thrilled to be doing it for a cause that’s close to my heart: supporting Project Hawai’i, Inc. This incredible nonprofit transforms the lives of homeless children across O’ahu, Maui, and the Big Island, offering essential services and programs that create a sense of stability and hope. Together, we can make each mile count for Hawai’i’s keiki (children) in need.

Help Me Run the Honolulu Marathon for Project Hawai’i’s Homeless Keiki!

Hello everyone! My name is Michaela, and I’m thrilled to be running the Honolulu Marathon on December 8th. This marathon is not just a personal goal—it’s a chance to make a difference in the lives of Hawaii’s homeless children by supporting an incredible cause, Project Hawai’i Inc.

Why I’m Running for Project Hawai’i Inc.

Project Hawai’i Inc. changes the lives of over 1,600 homeless children across the islands of O’ahu, Maui, and the Big Island each year. Through their programs, Project Hawai’i provides a sense of stability and hope for kids facing incredibly tough challenges. They run interactive programs, including educational summer camps, holiday events, school support, and essential training that help kids build skills and confidence. Beyond this, Project Hawai’i provides vital monthly outreach, ensuring children have healthy meals, hygiene supplies, and emergency services.

Supporting Project Hawai’i Inc. through this marathon makes every step meaningful, knowing that together, we’re helping children in need.

How You Can Help

I’m raising funds to cover both my marathon expenses and a donation to Project Hawai’i Inc. Here’s how your support will be used:

• Travel and Race Costs: Help me get to Honolulu and cover race registration so I can participate in this event.

• Donation to Project Hawai’i Inc.: Every dollar raised beyond my race costs will go directly to Project Hawai’i Inc., making a difference for Hawaii’s homeless children.

My goal is to raise $4,000, with $700 covering travel expenses and $3,300 as a donation to Project Hawai’i Inc.

Join Me in Supporting Hawaii’s Keiki

Please consider donating to help me reach the starting line and make a real impact for Project Hawai’i Inc. Every dollar counts, whether it goes toward helping me fulfill this dream or providing vital resources to children in need. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to me.

Thank you for your support!
