Support Hawaiʻi's Safety Net
Our Community Depends on It
Across our islands, families are struggling to meet their most basic needs — food, shelter, safety, and care. Aloha United Way received over $2.2 million in requests for Safety Net funding in 2024 — yet we can only meet 38% of that need.
Donate Now
Your donation helps close that gap.
- Hawaiʻi has the second-highest rate of childhood hunger in the nation.
- More than 3,600 public school students experience homelessness each year — more than the capacity of the Hawaiʻi Convention Center.
- Life expectancy for those living unsheltered is just 53 years — nearly 30 years shorter than the general population.
These are not just numbers — they are our neighbors, our kūpuna, our keiki.
Now, more than ever, our neighbors need us. Your donation helps Aloha United Way's Safety Net partners provide life-saving essentials — making sure keiki have food on the table, families are safe from harm, and our community stays strong through crisis.
Every dollar fuels emergency shelters, food banks, crisis hotlines, and outreach programs across Hawaiʻi — a lifeline for those who need it most.
