• Friday Night Perks: For our Friday night shifts at Kihei Lutheran, dinner is on us! 🍕🥗

🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE: June 1 – July 15 🎒

As the school year approaches, we want every student on Maui to walk into their classroom with confidence. Our mission is simple: Ensure no child feels embarrassed or left behind. A huge part of that is dignity. As we often say: No child should be embarrassed to change in gym class because they don't have proper-fitting undergarments. From June 1st through July 15th, we are collecting essential items for keiki ages 4–18 (including adult sizes for our teens). While we run this drive in the summer, we gratefully accept these donations all year long!

We are focusing on these specific items to set our students up for success:

• Clothing & Basics: Underwear, socks, bras, shoes, and school-appropriate clothing.
• Hygiene Essentials: Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and face wash.
• Gear: Backpacks and reusable water bottles.
• School Supplies: Notebooks, binders, pens, pencils, markers, colored pencils, erasers, and calculators.

You can drop off your new, unused donations at any of these convenient locations in June and July:

• IMUA PT: Kihei, Lahaina, Maui Lani, and Pukalani
• Regal Movie Theaters: Maui Mall
• Keep an eye out for additional "and more" partner locations!

Want to help without leaving the house? We’ve made it easy! You can order directly from our Amazon Back-to-School Wishlist or Target Wishlist, and items will be delivered straight to our team for distribution.

Whether you shop local and drop off in person or order online, your generosity ensures that Maui’s keiki start the year feeling supported, prepared, and valued.

Mahalo for being part of our village! 🌺

🎄 Christmas Keiki Gift Drive: Spreading Joy & Dignity 🎁

From November 1st through December 15th, we invite you to help us make the holidays brighter for Maui’s keiki.

For many families in our community, Christmas feels out of reach. We believe that no child should go without during the holidays. For many of the keiki we serve, practical necessities are the most impactful gifts they receive—but we also believe every child deserves the joy of a new toy.

We are collecting items for keiki ages 0–18 (including adult sizes for our teens). While this drive peaks in the winter, we gratefully accept these donations all year long at our regular events!

We focus on a mix of "Needs" and "Wants" to ensure every child feels cared for:

• The Basics: Underwear, socks, bras, shoes, clothing, and reusable water bottles.
• Hygiene Essentials: Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and face wash.
• Holiday Joy: Toys and gifts for all ages (don't forget the teens—makeup, speakers, and games are great!).

Spread the aloha by dropping off your new, unused donations at:

• IMUA PT: Kihei, Lahaina, Maui Lani, and Pukalani
• Regal Movie Theaters: Maui Mall
• And other partner locations across the island!

Can’t make it to a drop-off point? You can shop our Amazon Christmas Wishlist from the comfort of your home! Items are delivered directly to us so we can get them into the hands of families who need them most.

👉 [Insert Amazon Wishlist Link Here]

Did you know we collect these items all year? If you find a great deal in July, grab it! We set aside year-round donations specifically for our large-scale special events to ensure we are always ready to support our "village."

Mahalo for making sure no Maui child is forgotten this Christmas. 🌺
