Aloha Tower Marketplace shoppers made this the Season to Give to Lokahi

Shoppers selected wishes hanging on the Lokahi Christmas tree at Aloha Tower Marketplace and helped to make them come true by donating toys and more to the redemption box located in the center atrium. 
Festivities during the holiday season included hula performances, and appearances by Rudolf and Santa!

Since its start in 1985, Lokahi has been helping Hawaii’s struggling families by providing them with life’s basic necessities, year round emergency assistance, and brighter holiday seasons.

Lokahi lends a hand-up to those who are facing life crises or emergency situations beyond their control. Lokahi helps the struggling ‘gap group’, the working poor who are not qualified for assistance from any other programs.  Read more about the Lokahi giving project.

Mahalo to all of those who contributed to Lokahi at Aloha Tower Marketplace.
