Feeding Hawaii Together Facing Closure: Diana Lorenz
A few months ago, a Kakaako nonprofit announced it would have to close its doors unless a new location could be found. The closure date is now only a month away and Feeding Hawaii Together is no closer to a new home. The organization is the largest distributor for the Hawaii Foodbank. 50 thousand families depend on the warehouse in Kakaako to get their food. Diana and Charlie Lorenz are the cofounders of the nonprofit they started in 2003.

US Marine Corps Toys for Tots Holiday Concert: Bryan Sherlock
One of the better-kept musical secrets in our islands is the Marine Forces Pacific Band, which makes its home at Marine Corps Base Hawaii -- a versatile, highly proficient group of young musicians trained to perform in a wide variety of styles, from classical compositions to jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, and back again. Its community mission comes to the fore in this weekend’s Toys for Tots Christmas concert, a program of holiday music that places local artists in front of the band for a free family event.
