HONOLULU (KHON) – As Hawaiian communities recover from a low-pressure storm system that caused extensive, destructive flooding, Nexstar’s KHON2 and the station’s local partners are stepping up to help.
Anyone who would like to contribute can give through the Keiki O Ka Aina website, whose officials ensure funds are distributed straight to affected families for recovery.
Donors who wish to give directly to any of KHON’s nonprofit partners can do so as well.
KHON is working with Keiki O Ka Aina, Hawaiian Council, Lahui Foundation, Molokai Cares, North Shore Chamber of Commerce and The Salvation Army to reach viewers via the station’s “Hawaii Together: Flood Relief Telethon.”
All proceeds will go directly to families impacted by the flooding and ensure support reaches those who need it most – quickly and directly.
Keiki O Ka Aina
Keiki O Ka ʻĀina (KOKA), a long-standing Hawaii nonprofit rooted in education, culture, and community support, is serving as the leading organizer of the “Hawaii Together: Flood Relief Telethon” in partnership with KHON2 and other trusted organizations.
Keiki O Ka ʻĀina has spent years supporting local families through programs such as Family Learning Centers, early childhood education, and the Laulima Giving Program, which provides essential resources to families in need.
Guided by Hawaiian values, the organization focuses on strengthening literacy, parenting skills, and cultural connections — making them a trusted leader to help distribute critical aid to families impacted by the flooding.
Online donations can be made on Keiki O Ka ʻĀina’s website.
Salvation Army
The Salvation Army is one of the largest social service providers in the United States, serving communities in every zip code nationwide.
Known for its wide range of services, the organization provides assistance through food pantries, shelters, financial aid programs, summer camps and volunteer opportunities.
Their involvement in the telethon strengthens the effort to deliver essential resources and relief to Hawaiʻi families impacted by flooding.
