Volunteer, non-profit agency
works year-round for island's homeless keiki
The Christmas Wish Program is gearing up to
provide at Easter Egg Hunt and luncheon party on April 15 for
"the homeless and poverty-stricken keiki on our island," said
coordinator Magin Patrick.
"Our program runs 100
percent by volunteers, which allows us to use our public
support more beneficially for the keiki events," said Patrick.
"With this in mind, we need you to show your kokua and
volunteers."

| There are lots of ways volunteers can get
involved on that date or in gearing up for the
event.
"If you know or are involved in a group, club,
or company that would like to help us collect the needed
supplies to fill baskets and eggs, please contact us for the
set-up or more details.
"We also have many fundraising
events scheduled for March and April in front of stores in
Hilo and Kona to collect supplies needed. Three-four- hour
shifts for volunteers are available Friday-Sunday.
"Our
program is also in need of volunteers to help on April 15,
setting up and playing activities or serving food to the
keiki. We are also looking for entertainment and outside
activities to add to our games and crafts to entertain the
keiki during this two-hour event.
"Please call with
your ideas, we'd love to have you join the Easter events and
help provide these keiki with a wonderful day," said
Patrick.
For more details please contact Christmas Wish
Program volunteers at 982-8128 or on the Web site: HelpingHands@ChristmasWishProgram.org.
