The Wailuku-based Unto-One Foundation is seeking community support for its 2025 School Supply Drive, scheduled for Saturday, July 19, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the J. Walter Cameron Center. The event aims to provide essential supplies to Maui students ahead of the new school year.

Donations of new school supplies are now being accepted at several drop-off locations across Central Maui:

  • Aloha CrossFit & HI Performance Athletics — 47 Laʻa St., Kahului
  • LINX Hawaii Jewelry Studio — 275 W. Kaʻahumanu Ave., Unit 1H01, Kahului
  • Hoomana Barbell — 1826 Kaohu St., Wailuku
  • American Savings Bank — 150 Hoʻokele St., Kahului

Requested items include backpacks, pencil cases, highlighters, scissors, rulers, crayons, markers, colored pencils, composition books, dry-erase pens, index cards, erasers, Sharpies, filler paper, Post-its, spiral notebooks, pens, pencils and calculators.

The Unto-One Foundation began in 2022 when a small group of moms came together to give back to keiki in their community. Their first backpack drive on Maui in July 2022 resulted in 132 backpacks being distributed. Up to 239 were distributed the following summer. Last year, the nonprofit assembled and distributed over 400 backpacks, as well as produce boxes and other resources for keiki. (Photo courtesy: Unto-One Foundation)
