This Holiday Season, You Can Help |
This holiday season you can make a difference in the lives of foster children in a variety of meaningful ways. Family Programs Hawai‘i has several ways by which you can make an impact in the lives of children in foster care or at risk of being placed in the child welfare system. Here is how you can help:
- $350 purchases a virtual table for 10 foster children and the families that care for them to attend the annual Holiday Party on December 14th. The holiday celebration includes a traditional holiday meal, entertainment, activities and a gift for each child.
- $200 gets you a brick placed in the patio or walkway of the new receiving home, Ho`omalu O Na Kamali‘i, being built in Ma‘ili. The brick is inscribed with your name, company or business, or in honor of a loved one.
- An in-kind gift of products, services, or toys for the holidays will make the holidays and the new year brighter for our foster children and families.
- Your unrestricted gift of a cash donation, to be put to use where it is needed the most, will allow Family Programs Hawai‘i to help those foster children and families that need special help this holiday season.

You can now give online by clicking on DONATE. For more information on these and other ways to make a difference, contact
Connie Sizemore at 521-9531 ext. 224.
A Call for Goddesses
The First Annual Giovanna’s Goddess Gala, held on November 9th at the home of Giovanna Neuman, was truly an event deserving of Goddesses. The Neuman’s opened their home to more than 100 women for an afternoon of sumptuous food, dancing, hula, socializing with friends and a poolside silent auction. The event raised over $10,000 for Project Visitation, a program that utilizes community volunteers to facilitate monthly visits for siblings separated in foster care. The funds will be used primarily to fund more events for siblings to reconnect and create memories. Mahalo to all who supported this wonderful event! To get on our mailing list for next year’s event, contact us at 521-9531 or email
