Back To School
Back to School is in full swing. We have received many referrals from trusted agencies and community partners from around our island, these families who fall in the gap will receive the specific school supplies their children need to start the school year.
Food Pantries in the North Hawaii District
There are 3 Free Little Food Pantries in the North Hawaii District. BIGT takes extra care in helping to keep those pantries stocked along with other community members. These Free Little Food Pantries give families and individuals the opportunity to access free food when they need it. The motto for the pantries is to "Take what you need and leave what you can". Pantries are located in Hawi near Car Tow Kohala, in Kapa'au near the thrift store, and in Waimea outside of New Hope Church.
Clothing
Monthly clothing and basic needs outreach happens in the Ka'u district at St. Jude's Church every 3rd Saturday. Offering free clothing, shoes, basic need items etc. Donations are collected and items are purchased to bring blessings to those in need in Ka'u. Barbara and Dave Breskin are the coordinators in the Ka'u.
Volunteers & Outreach
We are in search of outreach opportunities on the east side of the island. With many displaced families still affected by the volcano, we are looking for a volunteer who can coordinate a monthly clothing outreach. Contact us for more information.
