'Tis the season for giving and on Saturday our Lokahi project held seven drives across the state.
A day of entertainment and giving at Ala Moana Center.
All to help fill up donation boxes.
"We just wanted to give to children who don't have enough for Christmas to make them happy," said donor Karyn Lau.
Gifts big and small, all appreciated.
Lokahi means unity, pulling together to strengthen the community, even if you're only visiting.
"You feel real fuzzy inside when you buying something and to give," said Gary Broadbent, a visitor from Australia.
"He told me it's a long way to come to give a gift, but Santa Claus does it every year so he felt it wasn't such a big deal to make his trip from Australia," said Jai Cunningham.
Jai and Olena Heu from the KHON2 News Wake Up 2day helped out at the Ala Moana Center Lokahi Drive while Ron Mizutani from the KHON2 News at Five was at Windward Mall.
If you didn't get a chance to visit one of the Lokahi drives, you can still drop off unwrapped presents at Price Busters, Hawaii Self Storage, A-American Self Storage, and Wet 'n Wild Hawaii.
Check and cash donations can be dropped off at First Hawaiian Bank branches across the state.
Sunday night, we'll visit the neighbor island Lokahi drives.
Mahalo to everyone who donated.
