Welcome to Healthy Money Choices
Enhancing Your Financial Life
A Program of the YWCA Kaua'i
COVID-19 RELIEF Fund
We HAVE Matching Donation$ - Join Us
OK, it’s been over 4 weeks since folks have lost their jobs. Latest estimate is Kaua’i unemployment is closer to 50%. Unemployment assistance hasn’t kicked in for many as the system is overloaded. Federal relief from SBA and PPP has been difficult to secure. If YOU have a stimulus check, or a job or a little extra in the bank we are asking you to donate to one or both causes noted below:
- Food is needed, as an example the St William’s food pantry is feeding staples to over 500 people over 3 days every week on the north shore. The Kauai North Shore Food Pantry is back and needs your help. They are open every Saturday 1 to 3 at Anaina Hou. They need $$ donations to help feed staples to our community. (There is an abundance of fresh food programs).
- The YWCA of Kauai has opened a housing assistance fund to help folks keep a roof over their head.
We have a match $ for $ up to $6,000 for each project: KNSFP and YWCA Kauai for a total of $12,000. Mahalo for stepping up to help your community!
