Nothing fancy, it IS in an industrial area warehouse, so expect to get dirty and hot. It IS hit-and-miss; some trips I never saw anything I needed, but I've seen new tools, used appliances, small (display model?) appliances, ceramic tile, doors, new security doors, etc. for a fraction of retail prices. The place is staffed by volunteers and they do NOT take credit cards here. I was looking for bedroom doorknobs on this visit, but they only had dummy knobs. But I did snag a two-light positionable ceiling fixture for the largest room in the rental for ten bucks. FYI: I believe they have other location(s) - just do a search for "Habitat for Humanity ReStore"

I love what they stand for and helping the earth reduce its carbon footprint is a plus. The moment I step into this place my head spins with ideas. They are constantly getting new product so if you see something you like don't hesitate to get it because it may be gone that's day! If you're a treasure hunter I'm sure if you search good enough you'll find many treasures that will tell a story. Definitely check this place out on your next home improvements or art project!

Waiting list (3 yrs !) for housing, I stayed at Base Hotel at $165/day. Then told to leave after 1 month because active soldiers needed the room (paid more $). Angry about that, moved out to Hotels near the airport at ~ $200/DAY! With only a computer & phone, and the money saved from teaching, I tried many places and finally on my last leg from Hotel costs, I called US VETS in Kapolei. A 'Behavior Psychologist' understood I had $300 left at the Central YMCA, and came to my rescue. I carried my large 5 bag of clothing to the site, meet the man, filed out many forms, and was given a 3-man room for $170 A MONTH, 3 good meals a day, internet hook-up, A/C living spaces, and other Vets to talk to everyday, some who had some of the same problems living in this expense State of HI. Most men had health problems from past wars ... Vietnam, Korea, some from the Gulf. Few had drug problems, but most were just financially broke like myself. This is what is important: It gives a man time to search for housing and a job without worrying about food, shelter, security, and a feeling of loneliness. To leave that place is ON YOU, not the people working there! They do provide job fairs, job training, employees to change one's behavior problems in class ... but to find housing, I used the internet & phone to contact Charities for Housing. Fill out the forms and don't give up. Waiting for an answer takes patience and luck. After one year, I was lucky to get a great place in Mililani, got a Substitute Teaching Certificate for HI schools, and financed a car for transport. Let me add one more Item which is important when living at US VETS, your assigned Manager is very important. I had a good one (Gary) who gave me more internet time, DD-214 research, always available for discussions of importance. So I read some sad reviews on US VETS, and decided to even out the score. Thank you Gary & US VETS. DAC

Here at Eater Seals, they have enough (caring) staff that you can feel confident your child is safe. If anything does happen (because kids will be kids) they always call and tell us about it when it happens. It puts us at ease knowing he is cared for, and not discriminated against, because of his limitations. They also work on life skills (cooking, computer class, etc.) They are wonderful here! It's money well spent! Their inter-session camps (school breaks) are fantastic too! They take the kids on so many fun outings! He's been more places here in Oahu that I have, just by his experiences with Easter Seals! (Even with them taking the kids in the community, I feel at ease knowing they will be taking great care of the kids and helping them have a great time!)

This review is definitely long overdue. Years ago, I came across a booth about this foundation at…read morea pet event. After learning more about this non-profit organization and being in awe of their mission, I was always willing to find ways to assist and help these innocent animals in need. The board members of this organization are very kind and you can tell they are all helpful in educating the public about pet care and their mission to rescue these dogs in need. For the past couple of years, I have been given the opportunity to take photos of their doggos in need to showcase their fun personalities in hopes of finding their furever home. Their process of finding the right doggo for the right family is very thorough and you can tell they care about the animals. When it comes to your interest in fostering one of their dogs, they'll be in constant communication with you while you're fostering and do reference checks to ensure their dogs are being well taken care of. They also offer educational events and do some fun fundraisers all to help with taking care of the dog's medical bills as some rescues may need extra love than others. If you're interested in fostering or adding a fur baby to your family, head over to the Fur-Angel Foundation website.

Because there is no age limit to participation and because it brings ALL people together. People with disabilities don't grow out of it. They grow up and many are forgotten as they get older. Since this organizations inception in 1968 thousands of people with intellectual disabilities and without have come together. There are so many more people that we can reach. Your heart just melts to see an athelete running down the field, stop as he notices his fellow athletes behind him and join hands with them as they all cross the finish line together. The games are held throughout the year and include events in powerlifting, track, bocce ball, bowling, swimming, basketball, golf, soccer, football....one of the absolute best organizations for the number of people they reach and the community of good people they represent. Everyone is a winner!

This school deserves all the 5 stars! When we first moved to Hawaii I was very overwhelmed and…read moreconfused where I should send my nearly 3 year old to school. I went to so many schools overthinking each and every decision about where we should register her. And the waitlists are the worst in Hawaii because you don't have a firm answer - you just wait - wondering when a spot will come up and if they will call. Seagull School Ko'Olina was not our first decision I will admit, but only because of where it is located. I am so glad they called us! It is a hidden gem well worth the drive. We have had the other schools call and we have no intentions of moving her. The teachers, the school, the front office, everything continue to impress me. My daughter gets the very most out of the school. The book fairs, the teachers (not just her own - they all know her name!), extra programs like soccer, the play, the curriculum, and the friends - it is a wonderful balance. She has learned so many things thanks to the teachers. Moving to Hawaii was hard - I worried about my daughter adjusting to new things and places, but she is so happy at Seagull Ko'Olina and has learned so much. If you are on Yelp trying to make a decision about preschools and which one is the "best," pick Seagull KoOlina - you will be happy you did.

The only downside is that I experienced some traffic twice (while on my way to pick up my daughter) getting to Koolina from Kapolei due to an accident on the way to Waianae.

Prince Kuhio Community Center…read more I have been to this small community center to listen to town events, discuss some of the grants that affect the community and most recently to attend event that OHA and another Hawaiian organization presented. I didn't know it but our latest presentation was on Prince Kuhio Day weekend and we took a group photo in front of his portrait that stands in the room. The building compared to all the other Honolulu big buildings is relatively small. There is mostly one main room that is like a standard classroom, instead of typical desks there are tables and folding chairs available for meets that normally take place there. There are clean bathrooms. This is the first place that I have ever gone into that has signage and makes Gender Neutral Bathrooms accessible and easy to use. Pono in that they care for everyone. It is right off of the main drag that is bumping up to the Rail. The fire station is at the end of the block and the parking lot is easy enough for use for Prince Kuhio Community Center or DHHL but they also have their own parking. also is on the same road of the Wendys at the KMA Mall- so easy to find now verses before when it was mostly open land with few landmarks.

A wonderful volunteer organization!…read more Check the website because each day of the week they typically are routine with the location and time frames for cleanups. It isn't only cleanups, they handle restoration and land management by preservation, teaching, and so much more. Kimeona and his team are well versed and well organized in what they are doing. They have equipment so when you arrive, after you fill out the documents online, you are ready to go. Of course prepare by getting a good meal in you, staying hydrated, bring water (they also supply water but bring your reusable water bottle), comfortable clothes and shoes, and be prepared to "give back"! I love learning history and culture and the oli and taking care of the Aina. I don't want to give away too much, but at the same time I want to share everything. I have been volunteering with this team, mostly at the same place, although I met up at Magic Island and it needed, for a couple of years. My takeaways, it's personal for me.

When people come visit Hawaii, they think about the beaches, food, partying, etc... People don't think about the impact it has on the ecology. We decided to pay our respect to the land that we enjoyed by helping clean it. This organization was more about teaching what is around us versus just picking up garbage. We first removed evasive trees along the river. The cool thing was that we moved the branches to a different area that feeds certain Beatles. Then months after the tress/branches were stepped on and crushed to be part of the earth. After about an hour and half of work we took a little environmental tour to learn of the necessary ecological balance needed for the islands. We saw the last type of a certain succulent, we saw endangered shrubs, and Hawaiian bees that are also endangered. We go to Hawaii and take, this time we gave back
