Episode Details

This past Saturday, the Laulima Giving Program rallied the community at Walmart Kapolei for their Back to School Supply Drive — collecting over 100,000 essential items for kids across the islands. Volunteers like KHON’s Gina Mangieri and Josslyn Rose witnessed firsthand the outpouring of generosity, from notebooks to pencils. One donor, Denise Stewart, shared how her parents’ dedication to education shaped her life and reinforced her belief that teachers are the foundation of society. The drive eases financial burdens on families while ensuring every child starts the year with what they need to thrive — a powerful reminder of what happens when a community comes together for its children.
