In keeping with its commitment to the well-being and healthy development of Hawai’i Island keiki, KAPA Hawaiian FM, in partnership with Hawaii Island United Way, will hold a school supplies drive on Saturday, July 23, at the Hilo and Kona WalMart stores.
The goal of the community action—the “Kāko‘o I Nā Keiki Support the Children Community Initiative”—is to achieve change by addressing concerns that were brought to the organizations from elementary school teachers.
A live broadcast with KAPA DJs will be held from 10 a.m. 2 p.m., while HIUW representatives collect school supplies and monetary donations.
The partnership will help to provide much-needed items to elementary school children in public school who will otherwise go without.
