Aloha on Wheels: Give Luggage, Give Love
Imagine being a child entering foster care with nothing but a plastic bag to carry your most treasured belongings. Sadly, this is the reality for many keiki in Hawai‘i’s child welfare system.
This fall, you can help change that.
We’re launching again our annual “Aloha on Wheels” Luggage Drive to collect new or gently used suitcases, carry-ons, and backpacks for children in foster care. Your donation will provide more than just a bag – it will offer dignity, comfort and a sense of belonging during a difficult transition.
All donated items will be delivered to the Hawaii Department of Human Services – Child Welfare Services (CPS) offices across the islands, where they’ll be distributed to children in need.
What We’re Looking For:

Last year’s drive was a huge success thanks to your generosity. Let’s do it again and show our keiki that they are seen, valued and supported.
Let’s roll out the aloha – one suitcase at a time.
