State lawmakers collecting donations for homeless

Advertiser Staff

Legislators will tomorrow collect toiletries and other donations for the Institute for Human Services at the state Capitol.

The sixth annual Easter Basket Drive will help those who stay at the nonprofit's emergency homeless shelters in Kalihi.

Every night, some 240 men, 60 women and 23 families — including 60 children — stay at the shelters.

The event starts at 2 p.m. on the chamber level at the Capitol.
