Each year during the holiday season The Advertiser sponsors its annual Christmas Fund to help our neighbors in need.
Over the years, contributions from Island residents have fed, clothed and comforted thousands of men, women and children.
Our anonymous Santa generously offered once again to match the first $25 of each donation to the Christmas Fund.
Your donations will continue Hawai'i's long tradition of giving and aloha. Donations will be used for families who need help making it through the holidays. Any Christmas Fund money remaining after the holidays will be used throughout the year to help those in need.
See the stories below to read about some of the people who need your help.
