“Prevent, Prepare, & Provide Care”

—Kalihi’s COVID Response

Since March, KKV pivoted to create a new program called Hui Hoaka to quickly assess urgent patient needs and supply families with meals, fresh produce, staples, paper goods, and cleaning supplies. Our coordinated team worked across KKV departments to provide regular deliveries to patients needing to isolate or quarantine because of Covid. Click here to learn more.

Elder Care’s weekly exercise program is starting to go virtual!

Weekly exercise sessions and social interaction were core components of KKV’s Elder Care program at the Gulick Center and at the recreation room at the Towers at Kuhio Park. Since March, however, these programs were suspended as seniors isolated at home. With an increase in depression, anxiety, and even deterioration of physical strength, Elder Care has found a way to restart the exercise program virtually.

SEAMS WONDERFUL online market!

Our Seams Wonderful holiday market has gone online. We have muumuus, men’s shirts, and bags made by program participants. 2020 was a difficult year but the SW ladies sewed masks and other products when they had access to the sewing studio at the Towers at Kuhio Park. All purchases receive a SW mask - but sales are final because of COVID19. 100% of proceeds support the Seams Wonderful program. You can even request pick-up at the Wellness Center. Shop here today!
