Y Service Club
The mission of the Y Service Club is primarily to assist the Windward YMCA
with their activities and events, however we also participate and volunteer in the surrounding communities and world projects. We are an organization
built on volunteers that want to make a difference in our community and
peoples lives.
Our club activities include:
- Volunteering and supporting the Annual Campaign (AC) for Windward YMCA.
A large portion of the proceeds from our annual plant sale are donated
to AC.
- We provide manpower and financial support for
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
monthly Kailua Houseless Service Care event that is supported by
Windward YMCA and Day Break Church.
- Yearly we fill shoes boxes with items for children during Operation Christmas Child, a project sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse.
- Volunteering at the annual USPS Food Collection sorting can goods at the Honolulu Foodbank.
- Volunteering at PAR HI Golf Tournament, with proceeds being donated to the Honolulu YMCA and Special Olympics.
- Gathering and packaging toiletry items for the Kailua Women’s Abuse Center.
