Good Tidings…
Mahalo nui to G. N. Wilcox Trust, and Elsie H. Wilcox Foundation (Bank of Hawaii, Trustee); and to S. W. Wilcox Trust (Bank of Hawaii, agent) for their generosity in awarding grants of $15,000, $5,000, and $10,000 respectively toward the purchase of a used flat bed truck. The much needed truck will help us step up our efficiency and productivity with towing, loading, and hauling tasks for multiple construction projects across the island.

Our new Repair and Renovation Program
for low-income homeowners is underway!
On December 10, 2011, Kaua`i Habitat began its first project in this new program - a roof repair for Marine veteran
JQ Smith - funded through Lowe’s “Hammers for Heroes”
in remembrance of Pearl Harbor.

Mahalo to the hard-working volunteers who came out that day to begin the much-needed roof repair work. Special thanks also goes out to our Repair and Renovation
Funding Partners who have made this entire program possible: Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Omidyar Ohana Fund, Atherton Family Foundation, Lowe’s, and Home Depot.

The goal of our program is to repair and renovate existing affordable housing units using our self-help model, so that families will continue to have a place to live. We’ll be doing more Repair and Renovation work in the weeks and months to come. Be sure to check back with us for future updates. For more information, click here.
