Head Start supports children in developing collaborative, problem-solving, critical thinking skills, and so much more. With Head Start, children learn at an early age how to effectively communicate and to practice fine motor skills. Parents are involved along the way with family engagement and encouragement of health and nutrition.

Debbie is a homeowner living on a fixed income. When her 27-year-old gas water heater gave out, it led to a multitude of health and safety concerns.

With her old gas water heater broken, water was no longer being pumped to her showers. This led her to build a makeshift water supply line from her bathroom sink to the shower. This meant she wasn’t getting any hot water at all. The WAP team found that Debbie qualified for replacements of her refrigerator, low-flow aerators, showerheads, LED light bulbs, smoke alarms, and smart power strips. Additionally, she was given educational tips on energy efficiency.

May is Community Action Month and this year we want to celebrate by highlighting successes of our community members who took part in HCAP’s programs.

These stories embody the power of community action and are displays of ways HCAP has carried out its mission of providing opportunities and inspiration to enable low-income individuals or families to achieve self-reliance.

Join us this month in honoring the importance of and celebrating Community Action.

Today we would like to show our appreciation for the wonderful teachers that make HCAP’s Head Start and Hā Initiative programs.

Teachers are an essential and incredibly important part of shaping the future. So, today we want to extend a big mahalo for everything that you do both inside and outside of the classroom!

We are looking for volunteers for tomorrow, April 28, to help us with moving boxes to a new storage location. For anyone available from 9:00AM to 12:00PM, we can provide documentation to log your volunteer hours.
