Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii Support Youth and Communities Through COVID-19 Clubs Provide Food, Supplies, and Free Memberships, for Hawai’i’s Youth and Families

HONOLULU, HAWAIʻI – MAY 4, 2020 – Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii (BGCH) announced today that they will be offering free memberships to keiki and teens in support of relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, adhering to the social distancing guidance from the Hawaii Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), BGCH made the difficult decision to close all Club locations on Oʻahu and Kauaʻi. Within a matter of one week of the Statewide quarantine, all nine BGCH Clubhouses across Oʻahu and Kauaʻi mobilized and reached out to their members and families to see how they could help. BGCH collaborated with community partners to utilize Clubhouses as distribution centers, giving out food and much-needed supplies to families within the community. That same week, Clubs started virtual programming to engage youth to maintain those critical mentoring connections. Every day since then, virtual programming has become part of the daily BGCH culture. Online content includes making volcanoes, lessons in yoga, hip hop, hula, Hawaiian language, reading, writing, math, karaoke, cooking classes, gardening, ʻukulele, kanikapila, and art. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost loved ones to COVID-19 and to those who are ill with the virus. Now more than ever, Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii is committed to the youth and families of Hawaiʻi but especially our youth from underserved communities who are being hit the hardest, as eighty-three percent of our families come from low to very low-income households”, said Paddy Kauhane, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii. “We made the decision to offer free memberships in support of relief efforts during COVID-19 because we wanted to support parents and directly engage youth, providing innovative and fun virtual programming to whoever needs us during this time. We will continue to do what we have always done – provide a safe space filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adult mentors, and enriching programs.” For the past four years, on the third Wednesday of May, the community has come together to support Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii. With the unique situation we all find ourselves in today, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hawaii is carefully and respectively continuing this year’s fundraising efforts. Funds raised will go directly to keep distribution centers open, to provide food, essential supplies, free memberships, and virtual programming allowing the staff to do what they do best; whatever it takes to ensure every child has a Great Future.
