The Queen Kaʻahumanu Center is the exclusive Maui location for the statewide Laulima Giving Program Donation Drive, taking place this Saturday, Dec. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The shopping center is partnering with KHON2 and Maui’s Keiki O Ka ʻĀina Family Learning Center in Wailuku to help collect donations for Maui’s less fortunate.

The event features live entertainment throughout the day with KHON2′s Marisa Yamane serving as emcee.

Representatives with the Keiki O Ka ʻĀina Family Learning Center say they are raising money and gifts for ʻohana (family) in Maui County who are less fortunate and could use the help this holiday season.

Raffle tickets will be sold at $10 for a chance to win a round trip ticket to Las Vegas, courtesy of Vacations Hawaiʻi.  All proceeds raised on Maui stays in Maui County. Donations that will be accepted include: cash, gift cards, unwrapped presents, non-perishable foods, and household supplies.
