FAST FOOD GIFT CERTIFICATES or grocery store gift certificates to give people when we either run out of food or when they need food after we are not serving. We could also very much use Sams Club or Costco gift cards to help us with purchasing some of our year round operating supplies, like cups, bags, cheese, lunch meat, etc..
Biggest wish is to someday have a place of our own that has a full sized kitchen and storage. That way we can operate and store everything we have in one place.
Anything at all u can help with let us know and we can mark it off our need list.
If u would like to make any kind of monetary donations that would be great too! We operate all year round. U can go to any Bank Of Hawaii and make a deposit under the Kau Kau Wagon donation Account. We are a non profit and u will get a receipt u can use for ur taxes.
MAHALO!!!!!
Our Christmas of Hope will be Saturday Dec. 27. 2008
It will be very similar to our Thanksgiving of Hope. We will need lots of help at that time including tons of home cooking.
We will also be joining with Aunty Lynn Friday Dec.19th, 2008 7pm at Mayor Wrights Housing for that Christmas event. We will do hot dogs, chili and rice, cheese, shave ice, juice. We will be seeking out toys, clothing, canned goods, slippahs, and many other items. Last year was excellent. Hope it will be just as great this year!
We will be bringing our 4 legged certified licensed service Great Dane Grand Dad and Grand pup team to visit a few many places including some of the nursing homes on the Island. For that part we will post the dates shortly. We'll be looking for more stuffed animals, fresh flowers, books, or other items to bring cheer to those away from home. No food items at this time are being requested. Most important is a friendly smile, a warm hand shake or hug. Our babies will bring lost of their love.
If u have some ideas that u want to share to add that we may be able to use. Call me or e-mail me. We can and do make a difference.
Like I said going to be a very busy few months ahead but together we can make it happen! For every heart we can bring a smile to is priceless!
Hope u all have a wonderful weekend!
MAHALO

The problem was I didn't have a regular schedule. I was On Call. And kind of hard when I live all the way in Kalihi. But I was dedicated. I traveled when called. Still, I needed a a job that was consistent. So I looked for and found one. Well, sort of. I passed the drug and back ground tests. Went in to fill out the papers and was suppose to start tomorrow. Called to check in and received shocking news from the HR person, Scott. "The President came from the mainland and put a freeze on all hires!" he told me. He apologized. I told him I understood and wished him Happy Holidays. He said he would keep my papers on file and when the freeze was lifted he would call me. I told him ok.
