The Kohala Resilience Hub annually hosts a Keiki Christmas Toy Drive to provide holiday toys to children in North Kohala
whose families face financial hardship. The project collects donated toys and monetary contributions from individuals and
local businesses through large drop boxes placed throughout the community. The funds requested through this application
will be used specifically to purchase toys to supplement donations, ensuring an adequate and diverse selection of items.
Toys will be distributed at the Kohala Night Market —a community event organized by the Kohala Resilience Hub (a program
of the North Kohala Community Resource Center) —held on December 3rd at the Kohala Resilience Hub Barn. Similar to a
food or school supply drive, the toy drive offers free toys primarily to children from families experiencing financial need in an
open and accessible setting. This approach promotes equity by directly supporting those in the community who might
otherwise be unable to afford holiday toys, fostering community spirit and well-being during the holiday season.
