🎄 Holiday Cheer at Palolo Elementary!

The spirit of giving was in full swing this holiday season as our Rotary Club took on a heartwarming project for the keiki at Palolo Elementary. It was a wonderful way to spread joy and make a difference in our community.

🎁 Bag-Packing Bonanza: On December 20th, about 30 incredible volunteers came together, forming a mini-elf workforce. Our mission? To pack Christmas gift bags for the 280 students at Palolo Elementary. It was a day filled with laughter, teamwork, and a whole lot of holiday cheer. Each bag was lovingly filled with snacks and toys, ensuring every child would receive a special treat.

🎅 Santa's Special Visit: The excitement peaked on December 21st. With the bags ready to go, we were joined by none other than Santa Claus himself! Seeing the children's faces light up as Santa handed out the presents was a moment to cherish. Their smiles and laughter were truly the best gifts of all.

🙏 A Heartfelt Mahalo: This project couldn't have been a success without the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. Your generosity and spirit embody what it means to be part of the Rotary Club of East Honolulu. This Christmas, we didn't just give out gift bags; we shared love, hope, and the joy of the season. Here's to more impactful projects and community service in the coming year!

The spirit

Aloha Harvest Holiday Boxing Event

Our club wrapped up an incredible day of volunteering with Aloha Harvest on December 20th where we filled holiday boxes for those in need. It was a day filled with laughter, teamwork, and a whole lot of holiday spirit.

After a quick how to briefing, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. The task? Assembling holiday boxes packed with goodies to make the festive season a bit brighter for families facing tough times.

The assembly line was a sight to behold. Picture this: 20 people shoulder to shoulder filling over 500 boxes in three hours. It was a great way to spend a morning before Christmas!
