    This Goodwill Hawaii is located on Beretania Street and recently had a complete renovation, and it looks amazing. My daughter told me that she wanted to go "thrifting" which is the new generations way of telling you that they want to go to a used clothing store due to concerns over the environment and "fast fashion". It's been a long time since I've been to Goodwill, but we thought we try this location that had been recently renovated. It's really beautiful inside, clean, and everything was very well organized, which is much improvement from before. They had a good selection of women's clothes, household items, including brand new Halloween decorations, as well as a reasonable selection of books, CDs, and shoes. Being a total bookworm, my daughter started looking in the book section while I was perusing the housewares. We also looked through a pretty nice selection of Halloween decor. Prices are posted based on the clothing type, and clothing items are not individually priced like before. They still do have weekly specials, depending on the color tag of the item. For example if this week is green tags, then all green tags items will be 50% off. We found some great books, Halloween decorations, dresses, as well as some shoes that looked barely worn. Parking was easy and located on the second floor in which you enter through Young Street. It was a successful day of Thrifting!

    Located in Mo`iliili this location has ample parking in the attached garage. A little confusing with the elevator but you're also able to walk in off the street. The place was clean, neatly arranged and pleasant staff. One of my new faves.

    Wow, Goodwill looks nice now! Clean and spacious aisles full of clothes, books, household items, and other goods and treasures for you to pick from. Free, very tight parking. Easy drive thru donations. And the best of all, it doesn't smell musty, old, and dank. The staff here are all very friendly, and are always restocking the organizing the shelves. With the vintage and reselling game increasingly popular, it's been hard to actually find something useful or exciting. Each time I go, I seen someone holding their phones scanning or taking photos of items checking how much they're going for on eBay. Overall, this Goodwill is new, clean, bright, and organized. You can't say that about any second hand store anywhere. Even though, I rarely find anything, I still like to come browse to find the hidden gem.

    New building is so beautiful!!

    See all

    Hi, does this goodwill carry used beach gear at all?

    Hi! Yes, it is possible depending on what donations we receive.

    Can I donate here?

    Yes. There is a drive thru drop off for donations off of Young Street where you can access their free parking structure.

    Any Ralph Lauren or anything there?

    I've seen a few and prices are decent

They fed us 3 meals a day and helped my parents find employment and budget their money. Eventually they helped us get into Weinberg village transitional homeless shelter in Waimanalo. We left Weinberg after 2 years and started renting a home in Pearl city and eventually we had our finances set well enough that in 2017 we bought our first home together. I was so ashamed to say that I lived here when I was in high school but looking back on it today as a grown man I have to say that IHS was an absolute blessing for me and my family.

    I was looking for a place where I could donate some of my belongings that could be of better use…read morethan just sitting in my closet and drawers being unused, but I wanted to make sure the donation would go directly to the people in need right here in Hawaii. And specifically, to women and children in need. Surprisingly, I couldn't find many places that fit these specifications till I came across the the Women's & Family Shelter, an emergency shelter from the Institute for Human Services (IHS). IHS is an independent, local 501c3 nonprofit organization that makes sure 100% of all donations stays in Hawaii. Drop off was really simple. The donation drop off area is open Monday thru Friday from 0800-1600. You can park your vehicle temporarily right in front of the garage while you offload your items. On their website, there are 5 different ways you can help: 1. Monetary Donation. A link is provided on the website for your convenience. This can be a one time donation or you can set up a monthly donation. 2. An In-Kind Donation. The donation center is located around the corner of IHS at the garage entrance on Kaamahu Place. On the website " Wish List" you can find a list of what type of items are in need. Items needed are gently used clothing (all types) household toiletries (even makeup), school items, food, baby related items to name a few. Basically just think of what you use and need and eat on a daily basis to give yourself an idea of what you could donate to help another person/child. 3. Planned Giving, such as bequests from an estate plan or will, real estate, personal property, etc. 4. Cooperate and foundation giving, such as scholarships, grants, direct donations, etc. 5. Volunteer. There are many different types of volunteer opportunities, such as tutoring children, kitchen help, serving meals, working at the health clinic, sorting donations, etc. There's an opportunity for everyone to give in whatever form you choose. So instead of letting your drawers, closet, garage, shoe rack, etc get cluttered with unused or unwanted items, why not give it back to the community to help another person or child out? Or if you're not ready to part with your treasures a monetary gift is always appreciated. Donating my belongings not only made my house much tidier, but I was also happy knowing my items had a 2nd life while helping to meet the needs of a person/child right here in Hawaii.

    travel2change - Beach clean-up and yoga in Waikiki with Jonathan from Yoga Loves Mana & Travel2Change!

    travel2change

    (4 reviews)

    Community service followed by meditation on the beach. Awesome!!…read more I learned about Travel2Change through my UH cohort. As a second year grad student, this was my first offsite team building event that I attended. Travel2Change is a non-profit organization that offers various activities focused on sustainability and giving back to the Hawaiian culture on the islands of Kauai, Maui, and O'ahu. From a beach clean-up followed by a sunset yoga class, to a trek into the native forest to protect indigenous wildlife, there's an activity to fit your passions! Just visit their website to explore. On Saturday's from 10:30am to 12:00pm, Jonathan from Yoga Loves Mana hosts the beach clean-up and yoga. He provided the bags and gloves for the clean-up. In 15 minutes, we collected four bags of litter from the grassy area and shoreline between the Aquarium to the lifeguard house just beyond the barefoot beach cafe. This was a great way to give back, keep paradise beautiful, and to show others the spirit of Aloha Āina! After the clean-up, we did an hour of Vinyasa style yoga in the shaded grassy area underneath the swaying palm trees and were sprinkled with a little bit of rain every now and then (it felt really good!). Jonathan has 15 years of experience and his teaching skills were kind and gentle for a few of us beginners. He made it very clear that the session was about the spiritual energy you feel from your core and put back into the universe, known as "Mana", and to not worry if you're inexperienced. We all felt very comfortable and he did a wonderful job guiding us on breathing techniques and stretching throughout the hour. Check out their website to see what they offer. Let friends from out-of-state know how they can see Hawai'i from a different perspective or share this with your friends and family from the Island. I felt really great after the clean-up and mediation through yoga. I highly recommend it!

Also, seniors can grab a meal at the cafeteria for free! The organization is amazing. The employees seem happy and they care a lot about the community and the volunteers too. It seems to be well-run with sufficient resources, although they always need more drivers so they can reach out to more people. Their meals on wheels program is for the whole island of O'ahu, and my route is focused on Waipahu. They have some baked goods and cookies for sale at supermarkets, at least at Don Quijote Waipahu. Their chocolate nut crispy cookies are really delicious! I can't say anything about the taste of the meals; but from what I saw, the meals seem balanced as they come with a frozen entree, milk, banana, orange, fruit cups, bread, etc. Some meals can accommodate special dietary needs like chopped, no pasta, etc. I wish everyone can afford food and have the capability to get food themselves, but unfortunately this is not the reality and am glad there's an organization who helps people become more independent and also provides some relief to the caregivers. Besides serving meals, they also hire people with disabilities. Sometimes we just need a helping hand to get things started. Blessings to everyone!

    I had the great privilege and opportunity to learn what this great facility was all about. The…read moreshort 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!

There are many of us full-time working professionals who feel the pinch of living in the 808. Imagine trying to survive here solely dependent on minimum wage or social security, and with children to take care of, on top of trying to pay the monthly rent or mortgage. Statistics have shown that half of Hawaii is unable to make ends meet, and it is commonplace for Hawaiians to work two or three jobs to survive. When I moved to Hawaii I was deeply disturbed by the sight of so many homeless on the streets. Homeless encampments a block from multi-million dollar luxury condos are a common sight in Honolulu. Now that Hawaii is my home for the time being, I searched for ways I could help give back to the community in some way. Two years ago I decided to become a member of AUW's Society of Young Leaders. This group is for young people between the ages of 21 and 39 who give an annual donation of at least $120. Donations to AUW help continue services that support early childhood development, after-school programs, developmental screenings for children, and distributing meals to needy families, the elderly, and the homeless. I chose for some of my donation to be designated to the ALICE Fund that helps individuals and families living paycheck to paycheck. ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. According to an ALICE study commissioned by AUW, in Hawaii, there are 165,013 ALICE households (37 percent), while another 47,066 households (11 percent) live below the poverty level. In total, 48 percent of Hawaii households are ALICE and below. I have always considered income inequality to be one of the most important issues of our time that has not been addressed enough by politicians. AUW is at the forefront of addressing income inequality in Hawaii. The AUW office is on N. Vineyard Blvd. near Chinatown. I have been to the AUW office for meetings as well as volunteer events such as the annual school supply drive for homeless children. It's a nice office and hopefully more people will get to see it after making a donation or choosing to help out with future AUW volunteer events.
