Public Health Fund Grants
Chamber’s Public Health Fund
Grants were given to the following organizations for the projects listed in the second half of 2010.Chamber’s PHF gave a $17,000 grant to the “Food 4 Keiki PackPack Program”. According to the Hawaii Food Bank, children are the largest population struggling with hunger. Although there are school programs available to offer free or reduced prices on food to children in need, this program will address hunger over the weekends when school programs are not available. Back packs will be provided for children who qualify to take home with them.

• $15, 000 to The Institute for Human Services (IHS) which provides emergency shelter for homeless citizens including families with children.
• $10,000 to Project H.O.P.E.: “Healthcare Outreach Provided with Excellence” at the Waimanalo Health center. With increased unemployment, the program assists the uninsured so they can connect to available assistance services.
