Organizers of the annual Camp Agape Big Island recently received a $20,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation at the Hilo Walmart.
Camp Agape is a three-day camp for Hawai‘i children whose parents are incarcerated or transitioning out of incarceration. The camp provides campers with a safe, nurturing environment of food, games and other activities, as well as an opportunity for mentors to positively affect their lives.
“All of us are so thankful to have the local support of Camp Agape from Walmart,” said Kahu Charlie Kama. “We are expanding our program this year and will be able to accommodate more campers because of their generous donation.”
The $20,000 grant will provide accommodations, bus transportation, meals, activities, backpacks, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and toiletries for approximately 150 campers.
