North Shore Give Week is our community’s moment to show up for nonprofits. And giving isn’t just about donating dollars: you can volunteer at events, lend your skills, or give any bit of support that fuels the good work happening across our community. Let’s lift up the nonprofits that lift up all of us. 🌺
Here are a few ideas for how to support nonprofits.
Clean up at the NORTH SHORE BARKYARD:
Saturday, December 6, 8:30am
The North Shore Dog Park in Kilauea is now known as North Shore Barkyard. Located in the Wai Koa Plantation (5445 Kahiliholo Road, Kilauea), the North Shore Barkyard is an off-leash park with double-gated entries into separate play spaces for small and all dogs.
Help the North Shore Lions Club clean up the Barkyard during a volunteer service day. Volunteer for this event: contact Maylette Garces: maylette@northshoregive.org or (808) 720-1645.
