Locations Foundation Donates More than $30,000 to Aid in Hawaii’s Coronavirus Response

Donations to support local medical personnel, Hawaii Meals on Wheels, Hawaii Foodbank and Hawaiian Hope

HONOLULU – (April 8, 2020) – The Locations Foundation, the charitable foundation of Hawaii’s leading independent real estate firm since 1969, announced the following charitable contributions to local non-profit organizations that support Hawaii residents affected by the coronavirus:

• 25,000 surgical masks, a $21,000 value, to be distributed to local hospitals and non-profit organizations that work with the public; 
• $5,000 to Hawaii Meals on Wheels, which continues to deliver meals to its most vulnerable clients; 
• $5,000 to the Hawaii Foodbank, which has seen a dramatic increase in demand for food; 
• $1,750 to Hawaiian Hope to purchase 500 computer mice to complete full computer packages that are distributed to families and children in need of a computer. 

“The Locations Foundation is proud to support our island community during these uncertain and unprecedented times,” said Realtor® and Locations Foundation President Kristin Mukai.

“For more than 30 years, the Foundation has partnered with local non-profit organizations to enhance the lives of Oahu’s children and families in need through charitable giving and volunteer hours. By helping to ensure that Hawaii’s medical personnel have the protection they need to do their jobs, that our kupuna and other vulnerable populations have access to food, and that our keiki can continue to access online educational materials, we’re fulfilling our mission of serving local residents in need while providing our agents and staff with a trusted way to give back to their communities,” Mukai added.
