The Most Delectable Community Service/Non-Profit in Honolulu

Great Aloha Run, Carole Kai Charities

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67)

"The Great Aloha Run is a yearly event that happens on Presidents' Day. It's an 8.15 mile run/walk from Aloha Tower to Aloha Stadium. The route is on Nimitz, under the viaduct by the airport, past the Makalapa Gate at the Naval Station, ending up at the Stadium.I do this annually with my co-workers. We've been doing it for eight years now. My legs are killing me as I type this. Some people care about their time, but we don't. We just walk the entire course taking our jolly time. We enjoy taking in the sites and just goofing around. We stop to check out the high school bands along the way, along with the different radio stations. I also appreciate the annual rose that I get from Watanabe Floral. They pass out tons of roses every Great Aloha Run to the participants that are passing by.After you finish at the Stadium, they pass out snacks. Today, it was a bottled water, a banana, coconut cookies, Red Bull, and a snack mix. They also have a Finisher T-shirt that you pick up from the booth. Every year it's a different design and theme. It's always interesting to see what they come up with."

Kōkua General Store

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I stumbled in here while wandering around. The store sells sustainable goods and does refills of household products like shampoo, detergent, cleaning products, lotion, etc. They have every kind of reusable straw, reusable version of paper goods, and lots of eco friendly dental products. Along with household goods, they have a section of vintage clothes. These are curated collections so you know that you won't have to search through junk to find something good. Their aloha shirt selection is especially impressive, and they had some really cute aloha shirts from the 50s and 60s. I believe kokua general store is owned by Jack Johnson (a musician) and dedicated to sustainability. We have some metal cups similar to the ones sold here that we got from his concert, and we love them! Highly recommend for practical, sustainable dishware if glass isn't an option because of its breakability."

YWCA Oahu - Laniākea

"Annual Benefit Clothing Sale 2020 - November 18 and 19, 2020 from 10am to 2pm...If you are looking for great deals, come to the YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association) on Richards Street, located across from Iolani Palace. This YWCA is situated between the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) and Alii Place. Metered street parking is along Richards Street and King Street and even at the nearby Post Office. On Sundays, metered street parking is free!!!I first learned about the Annual Benefit Clothing Sale from Facebook. I marked my calendar, then saw an Instagram contest, so, I entered and won $20 worth of items. At $5 per piece, I was able to select 4 things for free! Mahalo!!!I actually went at 10am on the first day of the sale (11-18-20). The line to get in was rather long, so, I went to lunch and came back. I strolled right in at 1pm and had an hour to shop before they closed at 2pm. There were bargains on shoes, purses, tote bags, and clothing. I saw name brands such as Christian Dior, Ann Klein, Ralph Lauren, etc. Some clothing still had tags on them, indicating that they were never worn! For sure, I will return again next year. The YWCA has great programs such as the Dress For Success and job training for those entering the work force. As a child, my mom enrolled me in classes like cooking, swimming, and sewing. When I was older, I took a hula class and even did aerobics since I worked in downtown at the time!Ahhh... Such happy memories! Thanks to the YWCA for all the community service that you do!"

Hawaii Potters Guild

★★★★★ 5 (4) • $$

"A volunteer-run, non-profit organization committed to educating the public on the ceramic arts. This cozy little pottery guild is tucked away on Bingham Street near the church. I sped by this place for years and finally discovered them one day participating at the Empty Bowls fundraiser. Classes generally take place quarterly, but you've got to keep an eye on them--they fill up fast! I am currently taking the beginner level throwing class. The instructor, Gerald Toyama, is patient and always there to help his students. He shares his tips and tricks and is great at providing alternative methods to achieve the same effect.The members of the guild are very friendly and supportive.So far, I've really enjoyed my experience at this guild and am looking forward to taking many more classes with them."

Hawaii Okinawa Center Legacy Ballroom

★★★★★ 4.7 (31)

"What a great place to have a wonderful celebration!I haven't been to the Hawaii Okinawa Center Legacy Ballroom in years, as I wanna say that the last time I was here, I had attended one of my best friend's - first sons one year old birthday party.20+ years later, I am back here to celebrate my best friend's - 2nd son's high school graduation party.My, how time flies.......I'm really getting OLD! Lol!Not much has changed through the years, and since returning back to the Hawaii Okinawa Center Legacy Ballroom, I wanna say that this venue is clean, & well maintained.There is lots of free parking in the super large parking lot, so access to this center is very easy. The food that they serve here I believe is from the Catering Experience (affiliated with Zippy's), and I must say it's fantastic!If you're ever have needs for a large scale party, having it at the Hawaii Okinawa Center Legacy Ballroom is a great place!"

McKinley Community School For Adults

"McKinley Community School for Adults offers the community great courses at a reasonable price. The staff cares about their students and show it on a daily basis. You can take special interest classes or obtain your GED. Either way if your looking at learning a new skill or bettering your education McKinley Community School For Adults is the school for you."

USS Missouri Bb-63 Memorial Association

"The last U.S. Battleship, the "Mighty Mo" [Honolulu HI]The Battleship Missouri was one of the historic sites we wanted to visit in Oʻahu. We arrived around 2:30p, got our tickets and hopped on the tour bus that took us to the site. Btw, there was no lines at the ticket booths and last admission to the battleship is 3:00p.We traveled over to Ford Island, we got a glimpse of the Bowfin Submarine on the way... we were dropped off and after the picture taking (option to purchase) we went on board the US Battleship Missouri. We took a self-guided tour following the route of the tour map. We started on the Main Deck, then Second Deck (below the Main Deck)... imagine what life was like for the sailors within their tight quarters. We climbed up 4 flights of ladders to the Upper Levels and ending our tour at the Surrender Deck and seeing the plaque which served as the site where representatives of the Empire of Japan signed the documents... it was here, on the ships deck, that the Instrument of Surrender which ended World War II on September 2, 1945 were officially signed. We were able to accomplish our self-guided tour in 1-hr and 10 mins because there was not a whole lot of people with us. It was perfect!Tickets for this tour was $37.99/person for general admission. It was great to experience a historic moment for our country.Review #3587"

Susannah Wesley Community Center

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3)

""The Susannah Wesley Community Center is a multi-service community and social service center that has provided much needed programs and services to the residents of Kalihi-Palama for over 100 years." I have been to this community center numerous times for several functions from meetings to events. They have a basketball/volleyball/recreational court that is attached to the center overall. They even have some conference rooms which I have went to for meetings. I think SWCC is great to the Kalihi community especially for the youth. They have services for youth development and what not from prevention type of services to after school and summer fun programs. They even have programs and services for the elderly and kupuna. It's conveniently located in Kalihi right in between North School St. and after on that turn from the supermarket and gas station. The staff are great and awesome to work with. I think this a great place for youth and for Seniors as well to take advantage of the programs and services that they have here."

Lanakila Meals On Wheels

★★★★★ 4.5 (22)

"I had the great privilege and opportunity to learn what this great facility was all about. The short story is they are a facility that offers a place for seniors to congregate for social interaction. In addition, they prepare meals for the many seniors who are incapable of preparing meals for themselves. The meals are packed, seemed to provide food for a few days and has everything, including the daily diet of milk. They have the delivery bags iced to keep the meals heathly while enroute. Each bag holds meals for 3 individuals and the bags are sorted and marked by area, ready for the volunteer deliver folks.The highlight was I had the opportunity to be a volunteer delivery person. While providing meals is the main thrust of the project, I've learned many of the seniors do not have people, family or friends to interact with on a daily basis. They look forward to the person bringing the meals, providing opportunity for human interaction.The coordinator of Lanakila was absolutely correct in her statement referring to the importance of our volunteer efforts. I walk away from my volunteer efforts a better person knowing I've help to pride food for the soul and companionship however brief for the mind! If you are reading this review and have the the time to volunteer, this is your cause. My last thought ends with thanking the Honolulu Yelp folks who are this effort possible"

Family Programs Hawaii

"Even that i have a crazy schedule I always find a time to volunteer and give back to community.How i do it? I dont know because right after here i have to go to a listing presentation! Anyways, today we volunteered for this awesome program that unites siblings that were separated by foster care.Without this events (today was bowling at Aiea Bowl) they wouldn't see their brothers or sisters at all so 10+ stars for Hawaii Family Programs for making a difference in this kids life! Sorry no picts are allowed to protect the kids but I promise you all the events they have are sooo much fun! :)"

Na Mea Kupono Learning Center

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"the values, lessons and experiences that Uncle Steve and his ohana provide at Na Mea Kupono are priceless. Over the years, we have brought countless groups of middle and high schools youth to learn about the importance of sustainability and giving back to the land, and we continue to do so for as long as we can. The adults get as much, if not more, out of the experience as the youth that we work with do."

Institute for Human Services

"There's many services available at IHS for those in need. My review is for the wonderful help today to unload all the bags of rice and box of canned goods from my car.Our local chapter of Blacks In Government had our annual collection of donations of rice and canned goods from our membership (and friends). Even though I came at a busy time of day, IHS had numerous volunteers to come out and help retrieve the donations.Thanks guys, BIG mahalo for helping me so quickly in the small parking lot before the rain poured down. Happy Holidays!"

Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii

★★★★★ 4.6 (5)

"What can you get for a buck nowadays? I found a deal that will blow any buck deal you got.How about 1 whole year of, fun, memories, games, dances, leadership development, free tutoring, and a whole boat load of activities to keep your child out of trouble!? It only cost $1 for membership!

This Boys & Girls club also offers intercession programs. This cost extra but it's one of the better programs that don't cost an arm and a leg. If there isn't a field trip going on that day, a special speaker is brought in. My older son loves it here. I'm glad that he has a safe place to hang out so close to home. Not only to play and build friendships. But to help build his character."

Nanakuli Housing Corporation

"So I come here every third Sunday of the month for my Kapolei Hawaiian Civic Club Meetings. I must say that even though I had a hard time finding this place, it is definitely a diamond in the ruff. It's located behind by barbers point, just pass tamura's at the end take a right go straight all the way down and in the fork of the road take that left where the fence is. You can rent out the facility for meetings etc hence why my Civic Club rents this space out every month to utilize it for meetings. -Air Condition-Well Maintained-Nice Facility-Clean-Bathrooms-Good Size Parking lot-8 meeting rooms-one story-Well lit"

Seagull Schools at Ko Olina

"Located in the beautiful property shared with Aulani, Marriott, Four Seasons, and Koolina golf course, I love the drive everyday here to drop off my daughter. Teachers are very nice and I couldn't be more happier to have my daughter here."

Obama Hawaiian Africana Museum dba

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"For anyone who wants to better understand a different culture, this museum is a fascinating glimpse of the African American cultural heritage in Hawai'i dating back more than 200 years. The delightful and loquacious founder Deloris will greet you with adorable enthusiasm as you wander by and read the posters, articles and clippings, and take photos with life-sized images of famous people like former U.S. President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey.The tragedies faced by Black Americans of the present day become more poignant when reading about the men and women who shaped history. In Hawai'i, little did I realize that there exists a National Park Underground Railroad Network for Freedom at Washington Middle School!Also, the name Anthony Allen was one I knew little about until a visit to the museum opened my eyes. The former slave came to Hawai'i in 1810 and became a steward and confidante to King Kamehameha the Great. How cool is that? There's more to his story and you'll just have to visit the museum to learn the full details.Located at the corner of Piikoi and Kapiolani Blvd. on the second floor, the price of admission is free but donations are welcome. The parking lot fronting the building fills up but you could also park at Ala Moana and walk over. Check it out!"

Hawaiian Railway Society

★★★★☆ 4.2 (154)

"The Hawaiian Railway Society is a great place to get out relax on a train ride and see some coastline and ride through the Ko Olina golf course, etc etc. It is an actual old narrow guage railway used to support the various farms in the area in the late 1800's and early 1900s. They stop in the Ko Olina at the Black Sheep icecream shop halfway which is nice but if you prefer a cold beer do to the monkeypod and buy one! No alcohol is allowed on the train. And keep in mind that all of the funds are used to support this piece of history. The folks are very friendly and its a fun, relaxing ride. Highly recommend it versus others."

KEY Project

★★★★★ 5 (10)

"Great venue for your next event. Lots of space for tables, chairs, booths, vendors, and lots of parking available (on site and on the street).Staff here are very nice."

Nob Hill Assn of Owners

★☆☆☆☆ 1.1 (9)

"I've lived in this complex for over 10 years now. My son is now growing up in the same complex as I did. Love the area & location! But my neighbors now, are rediculous. They own 4-5 vehicles (on both sides of me & then one over) for each house hold. They literally exchange cars everyday into the guest spots. My house has one parking space & my mom & i both have our own cars. It's rediculous on how we have to park on a side street, 15 minutes walk away, due to my neighbors being greedy. I've also been towed for now reason! My car wasn't in the red & had a pass."

Honolulu Police Relief Association

"Five stars. Highly recommend.If you are interested in purchasing Honolulu Police Department merchandise (e.g. shirts, caps, Aloha shirts, challenge coins, pink patches, and other goodies) come to the Honolulu Police Relief Association. It is located near Young Street and Kalākaua Avenue, at the old Hawai'i Law Enforcement Federal Credit Union location, on the second floor.Pro tip: the elevator is out of commission right now and need to use the stairwell. Hoping they activate the elevator soon to accommodate the ADA law."

Manawale'a Riding Center

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"If you are looking for a place that does horse therapy for your child with special needs, this is the place to go. It is run with volunteers which keeps the cost down. Patti is i charge of this place and she is so ice and welcoming. We got to observe a young girl having her therapy and the volunteers and workers are so friendly and patient. I will do a follow-up review after we do a lesson or two."

Blood Bank of Hawaii

"Super convenient location, very bright clean facility and well trained staff. They make it very pleasant and easy experience for you. There's plenty of parking in front then you walk up one floor or take the elevator and Boom! you're inside. Once there, you check in at the front desk where they'll ask to see your ID. Then they give you a small informational booklet and questionnaire to fill out. Give yourself about 10 minutes for this process. When done, someone will take you in an office where they check your blood pressure and prick your finger for a few droplets of blood to make sure your blood qualifies. I donate every 8 weeks and a few times I had to come back because I was running a bit low on iron. Now I take iron supplements a few days prior to donating. Once you're approved to donate, they move you into the big room where you lay on a comfortable leather recliner bed and then they stab you in the vein with a needle. But it doesn't hurt...much. Nah joking it doesn't hurt at all... much. It takes about 10 minutes or so depending how much you squeeze the styrofoam hand squeezer they give you. After donating, grab yourself a snack and drink from the snacks table. I'm a sucker for Lay's potato chips. Pro Tip 1 - you need to make an appointment. Pro Tip 2 - eat a good meal before donating but no alcohol. Blood is a Life Saving gift that your body can replenish. Be a good human and go bleed into a plastic bag."

Junior League Of Honolulu

"Spectacular Event! This past Friday the Junior League of Honolulu held their annual "Her Story" event. The keynote speaker was Lisa Ling, journalist from National Geographic and special correspondent for Oprah Winfrey.Lisa was incredible! She shared her life as a young journalist traveling the world bringing awareness about global issues we knew nothing about! If you've ever seen any of Lisa reports, you gain a wonderful, in depth understanding of the topic. She was moving and inspirational!The seminars that are included in the day long event were also very valuable and "not to be missed".I am not a member of the Junior League, but was fortunate to be invited.Next year, mark your calendars and make sure you sign up for this wonderful enlightening event! It is an incredible day to bond with other women and be rejuvenated by their inspirational stories.Thank you Ladies of the Junior League of Honolulu!"

Kākoo Ōiwi

"So much fun!!The last time I had been to a lo'i patch to volunteer was four years ago with the YMCA, and it was an amazing time of getting down and dirty. I wanted to come back to volunteer on my own, but COVID (....) happened and so did life... but my schedule recently cleared up to help out at this one!Reserving a slot to volunteer was easy on their sign up genius link on the website. Lo'i workdays happen on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and the first Saturday of every month. I came on a Friday morning. The group was assigned to plant lo'i and clear out auwai (water channels). I loved mucking around in the mud, talking story with those around me, and truly being one with the 'aina. It reminded me how vital doing this was- it helps to perpetuate Native Hawaiian culture and practices, helps Hawai'i become more self-sufficient with its food supply, and it helps to center/humble you. I'm super excited for my next workday with Kako'o 'Oiwi! Message me if you wanna join!"

Manoa Heritage Center

"Manoa Heritage Center is such a treasure in Manoa. I found this place when I was researching places to take fourth graders to learn about the Hawaiian ahupua'a. They have a great website that shows you all their different programs. They not only provide services for school children for field trips but they also have tours and classes for adults. The best part of this place is that it's free for students! Money is always an issue when planning field trips because you want to choose a good field trip but also one that doesn't break the bank. Not only was the admission free but the Manoa Heritage Center will also pay for the bus to go there. I was so excited to find out that the whole field trip would be free! We had a big group so we came on two days. We greeted them with our oli and they chanted their oli back to us. Then half the group went on a hike. On the hike, students learned about Hawaiian plants, the heiau built, and the Cooke family house that was built in 1911 (its still in good condition). The docents were very knowledgeable and shared all kinds of factoids with the students. The other half of the group occupied the classroom. They played an ahupua'a game. Each table was a section of the ahupua'a and as a group they had to decide how they would get their resources to survive. It was good for the students to work together and problem solve on how they would get the necessary items. Overall it was a great experience. I'm glad that I was able to find this place. They were easy to work with and the teachers and students enjoyed the field trip. I actually overheard a few students say "this is the best field trip ever.""

Kapahulu Center

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"The 2014 Obon season may be over but bon dance classes are starting! I recommend the bon dance classes at the Kapahulu Center! Classes just started and for the beginner and for those who have experience, attending the beginning class will set the foundation for proper footwork and basic choreography. The nice part is that the class allows the Sensei to break down choreography as well as teach the storyline and history of the dances. Some tips to consider:* be at the front of line to learn and don't be afraid to ask questions to Joyce Sensei.* bring water and towel.* if can bring a dance towel, uchiwa, batchi sticks.*where comfortable clothing and shoes.*all levels welcome.* enthusiasm and smile!Here is the price: Beginner Class: Saturday, September 27, 2014 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. (w/ 15 min break).If you have any questions contact the Kapahulu Center!"

Hawaii United Okinawa Association

★★★★☆ 4.1 (20)

"Tis the season for graduation parties......falalalala...lalalala......I attended yet another graduation party this past weekend at this venue. The Hawaii Okinawan Center is located in Waipio Gentry and is easily found by either traveling on Kam Highway or the H-2 Freeway. However, I would probably recommend a route via Kam Hwy for convenience reasons.The party I attended was in the Legacy II ballroom, of which the entrance faces the parking lot. I later discovered that the Legacy Ballroom is actually 1 huge ballroom, and it was divided into 2 separate areas on this evening as another party was taking place in the other half. Incidentally, the side where the other party was taking place was larger and had a stage as well.Although the portion of the ballroom where our party was held was much smaller, I liked the high ceilings so there was the illusion that the room was slightly big and grand. I believe there were about 18 tables (seating for 10) set up for the party, but since this section was smaller, there wasn't much room to have more tables set up if the need arose. Food and drinks were provided by A Catering Experience, which (from what I was told later that evening) is the catering division if Zippy's. The food served to guests at the party included Chinese chicken salad, assorted fruits, rice, noodles, fried chicken, roast pork, mahimahi, and adobo (which most of us thought it was sweet and sour pork). Besides water, fruit punch (very watery!), coffee, and tea was also provided.Lastly, the banquet staff was very gracious, polite, and kind. I was very impressed with the attentiveness of the staff that night, and their quality service contributed to a wonderful evening spent with friends and family.PARKING: FREE parking available in the HI Okinawa Center lot. First come first serve.Bottom Line: Clean venue. FREE and ample parking."

Helemano Plantation

"My niece is a single mom and needed somewhere affordable for her son's high school graduation party so she chose Helemano Plantation. The minute she saw the hall she decided immediately this is where the party should be. The hall is divided into 2 rooms, the main room is able to fit 250 people easily with a stage and a reception area and it has AC. The second room is where the food is set up and is also quite big and where the food and bar is with additional tables.The food is just okay, and they do serve a lot. there was a parking lot that could fit probably about 60 cars? and plenty of parking on the streets! plenty!"

The Pantry by Feeding Hawaii Together

★★★★☆ 3.9 (7)

"The Pantry, a targeted foodbank helping to feed those that are greatest in need in Hawaii. Today I had the privilege of volunteering a bit of my time at the Pantry while becoming better educated.The Pantry operates on an order based system therefore reducing waste in the food they give out to their customer base by only giving what is wanted. I had long wondered what criteria was used to determine who would receive this benefit. The organization is very clear that those that qualify and receive food distribution are those that are way below the poverty line. Compassion for those needing it the most.According to the Guardian, these difficult times for many has seen an increase in demand of food assistance by as much as eightfold! About one in three people seeking groceries at not-for-profit pantries have never previously needed emergency food aid. Want to see if you qualify and apply for benefits? Go to their website. Want to volunteer your time? Go to their website. Want to donate funds to this well worth non profit organization? Go to their website at: https://thepantry.orgThank you Pantry for meeting the needs of so many in our community."

Honolulu Armed Services YMCA

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The Wheeler one it's fantastic, We are in the ELR program, and we love it!! i really love the opportunity to learn with my kids, the program always had something fun for the kids the activities tables are learning base, the staff it's fantastic, I can no said enough!!if you had kids 18m+ these program is for you!!! I also can see how the preschool program is as I'm in the building and all the people are the lovely people ever with kids!!!"

Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition of Hawaii

"We went for their 'Happy Mama's Happy Babies Massage Class' and I'm giving it two stars because it was just way too crowded to actually get much teaching about massage. There were about 17 couples on a Wednesday at 5:30PM with a husband and wife team that just couldn't handle the work load (they admitted in class they "didn't expect so many people"). It's a shame because this kind of class would actually be useful if there was time and resources to teach it properly. If you go and it's crowded ask for a refund to come back another time."

Biki

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (215)

"An update concerning the "Biki app":When I first discovered Biki, I utilized the original Biki branded app. Then one day, I couldn't access my account. I called the business office, and they explained the change.If you have--or want to open an account with Biki, the app you need is called "PBSC". (See photo.)Once you download the PBSC app, you tap on the tab (left-hand side) and select a bike share service (in this case Biki).I can imagine all the good business reasons why Biki (and a lot of other bike share programs) have subscribed to this service, rather than maintain their own IT system. My complaint is that the changeover wasn't communicated well."

Helping Hands Hawai'i

"UPDATE: I've corrected and clarified certain points of my review to make sure there was no misunderstanding:Helping Hands Hawaii is an exceptional organization lending its hands to people in need by providing clothing, household goods, language assistance. During the holidays they host a special program named "Adopt a Family". A family's wish list is promoted via HHH media partners so anyone wishing to assist would have to contact the media or HHH directly.They are located at the 2100 block of Nimtz Hwy. But don't be fooled. They are not in the frontage of the building where the sign is rather, you would have to access their location from Puuhale Road. The collection area at the facility for donations is located at the immediate right side entrance. They accept clothes, household goods, furniture, toys and almost anything you can think of. The only caveat is that all goods, small appliances, etc be in working and operable condition as they do not have an arm for repair.Volunteers are always welcome. They need volunteers who can work in almost any discipline that a simple phonecall to HHH would clarfity. Their translators of language are PAID part time employees but there for the asking. So, when you are cleaning your home please think about sharing things you have not used or things you are planning to discard and discard them in the Helping Hands Hawaii direction.87/100 Yelp Review Challenge Los Angeles"
