Aloha Friends of Hale Kau Kau,

• Meals Delivered: Hale Kau Kau delivers 115 meals to the homebound elderly and disabled each day and serves a hot meal to anyone who comes by the kitchen at dinner time, currently we are serving about 40-80 complete hot meals from the kitchen each evening: thus Hale Kau Kau prepares and delivers/serves over 150 meals every day of the year. In order to continue to feed those who are hungry, we must rely on the generosity of our many supporters. Through our fundraisers, friends of Hale Kau Kau continue to donate and support our mission to feed the hungry with compassion and aloha.
