Better Together: Kōkua Hawai’i Foundation Honors Its Volunteers
Posted On: Jun 01, 11
In April, Kōkua Hawai’i Foundation staff honored the KHF extended ‘ohana with a Volunteer Appreciation Picnic under the shade of the monkey pod trees of Waimea Valley’s upper meadow. To start the day, families gardened together in Waimea Valley’s Children’s Garden. Lunch was locally sourced and included ‘ulu (breadfruit) and turkey burgers prepared by Hale Kealoha and dessert donated by Whole Foods Market. Many volunteers helped make this a zero waste event by bringing their own plates and utensils! After lunch, keiki danced in the meadow to the melodies of KHF board members Jack Johnson and Kawika Kahiapo, and KHF staff and Executive Director Kim Johnson expressed their appreciation for volunteer contributions to all of Kōkua’s programs.
