END OF YEAR
GIVING
CARING AND
SUPPORTING WCC
During this time of Thanksgiving, we thank our loyal donors
and friends who continue to support the good work at Waikiki
Community Center.
Shortly, you will be receiving a letter from us asking your
support for WCC’s programs and services. Our Emergency Food Pantry
continues to feed the hungry with non perishable foods. Many of these are mothers
with young children and older adults and struggling families trying
to make ends meet.
Contributions also support our Malama Seniors in Waikiki
program with case management and referral services so senior adults
can continue to live independently. Our Early Education Center
prepares over 80 young children for kindergarten and provides
tuition assistance to parents.
Our beneficiaries appreciate your caring
support.
This is an extremely difficult time for many being served by
Waikiki Community Center. As the need increases our requests for
food, services and support also increases. Our expenses and daily costs
continue to rise for programs and services. We make lives better for
families, kupunas (senior adults), and children. But, we can’t do it alone.
Please take the time to write your most generous check today
and help launch a successful campaign. You’ll find a donation
envelope for your convenience.
Or call us at (808) 923-1802 with your credit card number to
make a quick and secure donation over the phone. Your contribution is greatly
needed as we try to end the year on a positive note and begin
planning for a successful 2011!
Also, please consider joining WCC special monthly giving
group, Makana Fund to truly help where it’s needed most. Monthly giving makes a
difference and helps us provide needed programs for people in our
community. You can add,
stop or change at any time with a quick phone call, starting at $10
a month. Your
gift truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve! Call Denice at 923-1802 to
join this special club. (Return to

support. Please return
the enclosed envelope today.
We hope to hear from you with a
