• How can my organization get involved by volunteering?

  • There are several ways, one way is to donate so that we can build Little Bit Aloha and itʻs future by providing toys, gifts, necessities, food, or monetary donations so that we will be able to purchase packaging and marketing material. Another way is your organization can volunteer at one of the projects by assisting with: toy and gift sorting, set up/clean up, donation assortment and distribution, toy drive or drop off location site, or providing and serving meals. This plays a vital role in helping the day of project run smoothly and efficiently. Lastly, your organization can become the location site for the project to be hosted at. We work with you directly to make sure we can accommodate your organizations schedule, logistics, and what foundations we will be working with

• If we decide to donate money how is it processed?

  • At this time this is a foundation that Payton has started and her projects fall under an umbrella to Hui Mahiʻai ʻĀina,  a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization. Little Bit Aloha works closely with several different non-profit organizations during each project. Payton's ultimate goal in the near future is to turn her foundation into her own fully registered non-profit 501 (c) (3). Payton's whole concept is all based on a little girls idea to create something that hopefully will progress into something greater in the future. We have set up a Paypal account where you can send donations to (If need be, we can supply donation receipts upon request.) On the top of every page is where you'll find the YELLOW DONATE button to make a contribution. Everyone will be recognized for their help and contributions along with a personalized mahalo card from Payton.

• How does it work once we commit?

  • If you are donating: Purchase a new unwrapped toy, gift, necessities, perishable food or a meal. Drop donation off at a designated drop off location(s) or schedule a pickup. Our crew will wrap the toy or gift with our signature red ribbon. Together (if you are available) we distribute the donation at our designated project and watch the happy keiki and ʻohana receive their Little Bit Aloha  gifts and food.  See our Get Involved section for complete details OR Projects section for upcoming projects.

• If gifting necessities, what type of items do you recommend?

  • Anything that may be used for an 'ohana on a daily basis. Make sure the items are new and not used. Some examples are: clothes, shoes, slippers, socks, toiletries, school supplies, non-perishable snacks, etc. If the project involves a foundation that supplied a "Wish List" from their outreach program, then we will honor that list to the best of our ability.

• How does the meal donations/sponsorship work?

  • We accept any type of meal donations to serve day of: main dish, side dish, deserts, and drinks. This will provide each keiki and their ʻohana with a hot meal to enjoy at the project. We also accept day of participation from local businesses or organizations wanting to sponsor the project and participate in providing and distributing their prepped meal. Another option is to lead a food drive where you would provide your collected food donations: fruits, vegetables, eggs, bread, boxed and canned goods, etc. at the project.
