Kailua Service Care

Kailua Service Care Event 2026

On April 28, the Kailua Houseless Service Care Event celebrated its 100th month of providing a meal, snacks, clothing, hygiene products, haircuts, and vital life, health, and legal services. The monthly event held by the Windward YMCA and Daybreak Church together with community partners and faith groups started in 2018.

Each month, a different church or community organization prepares the hot meal and snack packs. April is WBT's month to be a part of this incredible community event. Mahalo to all the Kailua Houseless Service Care Event volunteers and congratulations on reaching this milestone!

On the last Tuesday of the month, the Kailua Houseless Service Care Event takes place at the Daybreak Church and Kailua YMCA. WBT prepared and served the hot lunch and snack bags for the April event.

The monthly event also offers haircuts, a warm shower with a mobile shower van, hygiene items, signing up for food assistance programs, and assistance with legal affairs. Mahalo to all who make this event possible every month!
