Volunteering means something different to everyone. Here in Hawaii, we are fortunate to be embraced by the Aloha Spirit. It is that spirit of love and compassion that makes volunteering in the islands very special.

You may ask, "What in the world can I do to make a difference?" If you've ever spent time helping out an elderly neighbor take out the trash or even calling 911 for a stranded motorist stuck on the Pali, you know that even a very small amount of compassion and "aloha" can make a difference.

Volunteers connect people to hope and offer a new chance to build a stronger community.

Be a Great Aloha Run Volunteer and help make a difference in the lives of the people of Hawaii!

Please call the Great Aloha Run office at (808) 528-7388.
