Aloha Fellow Hawai’i County Democrats & Friends!
The Pandemic Pivot – it’s a “dance” we’ve all learned over the past 14 months, and as a Party, we’re doing it yet again!
Instead of hosting our popular July 4th ‘Ohana Picnic in Kona, we are pivoting to a community service Food Distribution on Sun., July 4th, 2021 from 9 am until done at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium parking lot in Hilo, and West Hawai’i Civic Center parking lot in Kona.
All are welcome – first come – for this drive-thru grab-n-go. Everyone will be asked to remain in their car and all are asked to wear masks.
We decided to make this pivot because, while we are beginning to see a light at the end of this pandemic tunnel, many in our community are still struggling financially and with food scarcity. It’s our kuleana as Democrats to help.
The Hawai’i County Democratic Party has committed $4,800 of county funds to this project and we have asked all of our island’s elected Democrats to kokua too.
AND…we need your help too. Please consider contributing – money or fresh produce (perhaps gleaned from your yard, neighborhood or community). We also need volunteers to help with packing and distribution.
We will be preparing 500 food bags and to have each one be “meaningful,” we need to raise at least another $5,000. Small donations are welcome - $20 will buy a full bag of groceries; $100 will pay for bundles for 5 families. But ANY AMOUNT HELPS. The easiest way to contribute is via our website: https://www.hawaiicountydemocrats.org/july4fooddistribution-donation-1
