Food Drive
Its Volunteer Week in Hawai‘i and several organizations are coming together to offer support for food distribution. Feed My Sheep can feed a family of 4 for a week with a $10 donation. Maui Food Bank makes $1 go a long way, that supports up to 4 meals for someone. Maui Rapid Response serves 1250 houseless individuals, kupuna and undocumented folks that do not qualify for programs. Donate directly to those organizations online or participate in this week’s contactless Food and Medical Supplies drive on Thursday, 9am-12pm at Maria Lanakila, Friday 3-6pm at Kuau Store, Saturday 9am-12pm at Hope Chapel in Kihei, and Auto Zone in Kahului.
Art of Trash
The Art of Trash is one of my favorite art shows to visit. I eagerly anticipate the wild and wonderful ways people make art from trash. Although it was a huge disappointment that the shut down was going to affect the art show, Malama Maui Nui found a way to make lemonade out of lemons, and will be launching this year’s Art of Trash Show online. This year’s theme is “What is Waste?” The show launches on their website, Wednesday, April 22 at Malamamauinui.org/artoftrash.html.
