Donations of Goods for Homeles​​s Keiki

Hawai‘i's public schools serve homeless​ students statewide. Thanks to donations of classroom supplies, the Department of Education is usually able to provide students what's needed for classwork - backpacks, notebooks, pens, etc. We often have a need for footwear, shoes and slippers. For additional questions or concerns, please contact the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program at (808) 348-0304 or (808) 723-4192. Click here for more information on how to fulfill a need.
