Locals Restaurants, Businesses, and nonprofit Organizations Collaborate to Deliver 35,000+ Free Delicious Meals to Kūpuna Over the Shelter In Place Period and Invite Other Businesses to Join This Effort. Every $500 will be providing 60 meals to our Seniors. Restaurants will create 60 meals per day.
"Letters for Kupuna," which is run by the people behind the website coronavirushawaii.com, was launched on April 13. The idea is to collect 5,000 letters for kupuna, who are isolated during these times, especially if they live alone. They did their first PO Box collection today (4/20/2020), and so far only have 40 letters.
Unfortunately, not all elderly in Hawai'i have ‘ohana on island to look out for them during these very difficult times.
Our mission is to connect our kupuna with sponsors; those in our community who are free of COVID-19 symptoms, have not traveled outside of Hawai`i in the last 21 days and are willing to getting groceries, medication and necessary supplies to our kupuna so they can stay home while the COVID-19 outbreak passes.
