HUNGER ISSUES EVEN MORE SERIOUS DURING SUMMER: When families do not have school breakfast and lunch programs to help feed children, there is often a peak in need at local food pantries, and more so in these challenging times when gas and utilities costs are soaring. Please consider dropping a donation off at the Annunciation or New Hope food pantries throughout the summer! If you would like to kokua, call Ann Lum (885-0879) with Annunciation Catholic Church’s food pantry or drop by foods, KTA Sav-A-Tapes, Foodland Maika’i awards, or call Johanna Reeve (885-5510) at the New Hope food pantry.

COMMUNITY HELP WITH FREE HOUSING ‘HAWAII PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL’ INSTRUCTORS: The 2011 Festival will run June 24-July 15, providing over 10 free concerts and many more events that give this community amazing musical experiences and also underwrite scholarships for 11 young Hawaii artists. This event has poured over $2.5 million into the local economy since starting in 2005. They need homes for faculty — with privacy and "recovery time" from intensive schedules. Hosts are not expected to feed or entertain these faculty members, just kokua with housing — condos, ohanas, whole homes not occupied during the festival. Great care is taken to be sure homes are cared for and left in top notch condition. For more info, call Carole Chillingworth, Housing Director (volunteer): 887-1177, 936-4142 or email: [email protected].
