The HOPE

30% of proceeds go towards Child + Family Services, Hawai'i • 30% of proceeds will go towards PACT (Parents and Children Together) 

"Hope is contagious."

I had to pick one bandana that would almost soley go towards nonprofits, and this bandana was it. I am a true believer that all kids deserve a fighting chance for the best life possible. Life happens. Tough times happen. Parent's relationships may deteriorate. Kids should be given the tools and encouragement to seek help, build independence,  confidence, and be empowered. They should be able to find and know love, safety, and that they are worth fighting for.

“Parents And Children Together has been providing Hawaii’s most vulnerable residents with desperately needed social services since 1968.

We originated as a single program in Kalihi and have grown over the years to serve over 17,000 individuals and families annually throughout our state. While we have a legacy of serving areas of concentrated poverty statewide, our headquarters remain in the Kapalama area because we believe in being deeply rooted in the communities we serve.

Parents And Children Together promotes meaningful and healthy relationships between parents and children, while creating support systems that empower people who often have nowhere else to turn. Our community-based services have grown into a multi-faceted organization with over 400 employees on Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai, Lanai and the Island of Hawaii.
