Hawaiian Telcom employees conduct Kanahā cleanup

Hundreds of Hawaiian Telcom employees spent the day volunteering for various community service projects statewide on Friday as part of the company’s annual “Day in the Community.” Volunteers on Maui participated in a cleanup of Kanahā Beach Park in Kahului as part of the effort.

“We look forward to this event every year when we volunteer for the organizations that help make Hawai‘i a better place,” said Hawaiian Telcom President Su Shin. “From cleaning beaches and parks to sorting food items and more, it’s a privilege to help our local nonprofits that do great work in our community.”
