HelpOki


Project Name
Nakamura Community Garden. We have a community garden where we grow fresh fruits and vegetables to provide healthy options for our food bank recipients and to use when preparing meals for low income children in the area.

Project Name
Donation Drop Off Center. We accept gently loved clothing, sneakers, toys, and household items. We try to find a home for the items we receive to less fortunate individuals and families across Okinawa. What we cant find a home for we do sell, with the proceeds going back into serving the local less fortunate community.

Project Name
Community Shower. We have a free shower that anyone can use at our community center. We provide shower amenities free of charge and fresh clean towels for those that wish to use it.

Help Feed Oki Foodbank. We have a food bank that provides over 1,000 kilograms of food to those in need throughout the island. We also have two food pantries both in Ginowan and Yonabaru.

Domestic Violence Bedroom. There are cases where police are called to a residency due to domestic violence issues. We have a bedroom for those needing a safe space to stay. Those needing to stay at our facility can stay free of charge with their children. We also have security cameras on location to provide additional security measures.

Project Name
Kids Restaurant. We provide free dinner meals to low income children in the local area. We are able to help teach basic English and make sure they all leave with smiles.

Project Name
Charity Thrift Store. Sometimes we cant always find a home for donations. What we cant find a home for we do sell with the proceeds from the store going back into running our many programs and helping support the local community by purchasing requested items we may not have on hand.
