300 Backpacks & School Supplies Needed for Keiki in Maui County
Hoʻoikaika Partnership is participating in several back-to-school events and efforts to help ʻohana ensure their keiki and ʻōpio are prepared for school. We’ve already secured about 150 backpacks with supplies but are reaching out to community partners to help with another 300. Please consider contributing to help us provide these necessary items to those in need. Together, we can ensure that every child has the tools they need for a successful school year.
