The Pantry provides free groceries for the working poor of Oahu.

Shift Times: 9:00 am to 12:15 pm & 12:00pm to 2:30pm.

Every Wednesday and Friday The Pantry provides groceries for over 500 needy families on the island of Oahu.

Volunteer Roles Available:

Running Orders - Clients show up to the warehouse with order numbers. Runners help to locate the client's orders on the warehouse shelves.

Shopping - volunteers will help fulfill client orders.

Pre-loading - Every order receives a set of daily specials, which are made up of vegetables, bread, eggs, etc... We strive to ensure that the client's nutritional needs are taken care of. Pre-loaders help to make sure that the runners already have at least one set of specials ready to share with incoming clients.

Loading - Loaders are responsible for handing over the completed orders. Hand-offs may be in person, or loading clients' cars.

Training will be provided, but you'll catch on quick.

Please wear comfortable clothing, shoes and face mask.

Basic agenda of how the day will proceed is as follow:

9:00AM: Volunteers arriving and general preparation for the day is taking place, including being given assignments. If we need to pre-package produce, it will be done in this time.

9:15AM: Huddle time - general announcements are made, assignments called out.

Please remember the following:

2. Be sure to wear comfortable breathable clothing; also wear comfortable closed toed shoes.
3. Please make sure to have sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat with you should you be assigned to assist with loading customer orders into their cars outside.

*************************************
I’m collecting $1 per person for this trivia event. The money will go towards the Friends in the 808 yearly fees.
*************************************

I’m hosting the trivia night while Mike P is away.

Join us for trivia at the Tropics Bar in the Discovery Bay Center, 1778 Ala Moana Blvd. Happy hour is from 3-6 pm if you get there early. This is actually a Meetup folks, not an ad for the event from the sponsors. See you THERE!
This is a fun trivia event with prizes, beer specials, and a great DJ. We look forward to seeing you there and enjoying this trivia night together.

How to find us
We'll be near the DJ table on the stage across from the main bar for the trivia.

Tropics Ale House Waikiki
1778 Ala Moana Blvd · Honolulu, HI

Parking is validated at Tropics for the Discovery Bay parking garage (get in from Kaio'o) for a reduced price.
There is a Biki stand on Hobron.
Multiple buses in the area, for example:
20/42/E at Ala Moana and Hobron
2, 13 at Kalakaua and Ena 7 at Kapiolani and McCully

This is our third go round "walking the shoe", and talk about fun!

Basically you walk around this course, in the shape of a show - 3 times. There are volunteers: handing out water; cheering on the walkers; and playing music. Also, sadly, there are victim stories lining the walking path.

Alice, member & co-host, sent me a text heads up, so we'll be raising money for MADD through "Team Alice & Lyle". I met both Alice and Lyle through volunteering at the Pantry; so if you have volunteered there in the past, you might see some familiar faces.

"Walk Like MADD" is the local office's only fundraising event. The event will be held at Kaka'ako Waterfront Park. Their local goal is to raise $120,000. All money raised supports services and programs provided in Hawaii. Consider "walking like MADD".

Last year, our team was one of the top three fund raisers, so we got some free stuffs. Lyle was our secret weapon because he made a very generous donation.

When you sign up for this event, then register for a minimum of $25; you'll get a t-shirt. When you register, you'll have the option of signing up "virtually", no need walk; but you still can get a t-shirt.

Here is how to register for "Team Alice & Lyle":
1. Click on this link;
2. Click on the "Join Team" link to the left;
3. Create an account (if you don't have one);
4. Fill in your personal details, including how much you want to donate ($25 minimum 😊). Don't forget your t-shirt size;
5. Pay;
6. Now you are part of the team!

This is such a cool event: you get to support a worthy cause; you get a t-shirt; there is plenty of water & snacks handed out; you get cheered on by bands and various volunteers; you get to enjoy the park's scenic view; and wait for it . . . . you get prizes too!

Please note: Participants may sign up online until the night before the event. You can also sign up the day of the event, however you aren't guaranteed to get a T-shirt. Same day registration starts at 7am.

🅿️
There is ample parking at the part and the Burns Medical School.
