Mandie and I volunteered at the Pahoa Museum and Cultural Center, helping put on a Christmas dinner for people without families or homes. Joe with Alexus and his three kids also volunteered.
I am pleased to see how willing various individuals and organizations were to help supply the food and equipment to make the event a rewarding experience for everyone.
