Donations of Goods for Homeles​​s Keiki

Hawaiʻi’s public schools serve homeless​ students statewide. Thanks to donations of classroom supplies, the Department 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. Please contact the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program at 808-348-0304 or 808-723-4192 with any questions. Needs can also be fulfilled directly through the Purposity website.
