FACTS ON US VETS HAWAII BARBERS POINT FACILITY: U.S. VETS facility located in Kapolei at Barbers Point has resulted in positive steps to continue to upgrade their ability to service U.S. Military Veterans living in Hawaii. The U.S. VETS has rooms in their facilities for up to 135 U.S. Military Veterans both male and female. They took over the management on behalf of the State of Hawaii of an additional 37 Tiny Homes completed on the property next to their main facilities. This new community named “Kama’oku Kauhale” was built in a partnership with the State of Hawaii, Hawaii Home Builders Association, U.S. VETS, and several other volunteer organizations that included our Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset. Ten of these units are dedicated for use by veterans and the others for Oahu homeless.
ALL VOLUNTEERS & ATTENDEES: Please register no later than November 3. This will ensure there are enough meals for everyone. Thank you!
