Windward YMCA Youth Program throughout the year by making hundreds of
spam musubis and serving shave ice to the students at their A+ sites
after school during the AC season.
- In coordination with Meals on Wheels, members deliver food to clients weekly in the Kaneohe and Kailua areas.
-
We oversee the distribution of toiletry and snack care packages at the
