About
Since 2014, Kokua Closet has served over
2,000+ children and families.
We provide new and gently used donated items to children and families who are in need.
Kokua Closet is a partnership between churches and
Harvest Family Life Hawaiʻi.
We provide basic necessities at no cost for children
before, during, and after foster care. Kokua Closet also supports families facing hardship
by helping meet practical needs.
Please contact us if you would like to make an appointment to donate or receive items—our team is here to help.
