Their caring presence on our campus makes for a vibrant community partnership, and we are so grateful!

During the pandemic, Peter Pomeranze established the Kohala Cares food distribution program, giving away 130 -150 bags of groceries each week. The program remains as robust as ever with the help of many! Mahalo nui to all the wonderful donors and volunteers who are dedicated to food assistance in our neighborhood.
