What Aloha United Way Does
Community Care Fund
At some point in your life you or someone you know might need help. When that time comes, Aloha United Way’s Community Care Fund is there to provide the services needed. By giving to Aloha United Way’s Community Care Fund you join thousands of people who care for our community by providing the basic needs and crisis services for our citizens.
Born Learning
It’s a fact.
Children are born learning and parents are their first teachers. Research shows that children who start kindergarten with the basics usually achieve greater success in school and throughout life. If you are a parent or caregiver, give your child a good start in life. We can help you do it!
“How do I prepare my child for school?”
Doing simple things can make a big difference. It's easier than you think.
- While folding laundry, ask your child to identify colors or count socks.
- During meals, name the foods your baby is eating.
- At the market, ask your toddler about shapes and sizes or to name things that are up high or down low.
“Where can I get more ideas?”
