The Christmas Wish Program is looking for volunteers to help collect athletic shoes and socks for Hawai'i's homeless children so they can participate in sports.

Two shifts are available for the Feb. 9 collection event at American Savings Bank at the corner of Queen Street and Ward Avenue: 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and 12 to 3 p.m.

Volunteers are also encouraged to bring donations. Those who would like to help but cannot make the event may send donations directly to the Christmas Wish Program at P.O. Box 1844, Kea'au, HI 96749.

For information, contact 808-982-8128 or helpinghands@christmaswishprogram.org.
