Families and individuals in need depend on the food donated to the pantry to make ends meet. Please bring food to the 7:00 am or 9:00 am service.

CALL FOR SHOP VOLUNTEERS

The Thrift Shop is an important part of St. Augustine's mission, as it provides basic goods at very low cost to our local community. Many families rely on the shop, which also serves as an important gathering place.

We have a few more opportunities for helping at the shop. You can "create your own adventure" in terms of hours per week and the number of days you volunteer per month. There are jobs for all interests!

If you are interested in volunteering at the Thrift Shop, please contact John Sakai, or Kathy Webb at admin@staugustineskohala.com. Please share this information with members of our North Kohala community!

MAHALO TO ALL OUR WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS! We could not run our Thrift Shop without you.
