OUR MISSION Catholic Charities Hawai‘i, rooted in the gospel of Jesus, exists to carry out the social mission of the Church by serving the people of Hawai‘i.

We are a community of hope that promotes the dignity of each person by helping others empower themselves. We provide a wide range of social services with compassion and a commitment to excellence. Through our programs and our advocacy for social justice, we lovingly serve all people, especially those with the greatest need.

In the Hawaiian spirit of ‘ohana we join with parishes, agencies, and community groups.

We welcome all people of goodwill to share our mission.

OUR CORE VALUES In all our services, decisions, and relationships we commit to live these values: Dignity of each person calls us to reverence the God-given life and dignity of each person at every stage and condition of life.

Compassion calls us, as sisters and brothers, to be present with others in their suffering and need and to serve with a caring spirit.

Social Justice calls us to be a community of hope that works to achieve the common good, promotes individual rights and responsibilities, and advocates on behalf of those with the greatest need.

Commitment to Excellence calls us to serve competently and collaboratively.

Board Chair and President & CEO Message Dear Friends, As we reflect on 78 years of service, our hearts are filled with deep gratitude. Catholic Charities Hawai‘i was built on care for our people and deep love of our community.

Today, because of you, that spirit continues to shine. Our work is grounded in the core values of Dignity, Compassion, Social Justice, and a Commitment to Excellence, which guide us as we serve communities across the state, regardless of faith or culture.

This past year reminded us how deeply our islands depend on one another. Families are still recovering from the lasting effects of the pandemic and the devastation on Maui. Many of our neighbors continue to face housing instability, financial constraints and overwhelming emotional strain. In response, we strengthened our focus on mental health and well-being, ensuring that the most vulnerable among us receive the understanding, care, and healing support they deserve.

In 2025, we also launched the Hawai‘i Relief Program, expanding our ability to stand beside households facing sudden hardship and helping them remain safely housed.

This effort reflects our commitment to be present when hope feels distant and stability feels uncertain.

Together, we have touched the lives of keiki, families, veterans, and kūpuna across Hawai‘i. And together, we continue to show our community that no one is ever alone.

Thank you for your unwavering aloha. Your compassion breathes hope into our community, one life at a time.

SHANNON ALIVADO Chair, Board of Directors

Thriving Through Akahai E Komo Mai When Sandy walked into the Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi office at Hale Wai Vista in 2023, she was overwhelmed. She was unemployed, emotionally exhausted, and facing more than $25,000 in rental arrears, putting her family at risk of eviction.

Through Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi’s Akahai E Komo Mai program, Sandy found more than assistance—she found a pathway forward rooted in compassion, culture, and support.

With guidance from her CCH Case Manager, Sandy created a structured repayment plan that allowed her family to remain housed while she worked to rebuild her financial stability. She also began meeting with a counselor through CCH’s on-site mental health services, helping her regain confidence and emotional balance.

Through Akahai E Komo Mai’s financial education workshops, Sandy learned practical money management skills and developed a monthly budget.

“I’ve learned how to take control of my finances and believe in myself again. Now I have a job I love, and I know I can provide for my family.” — Sandy With renewed determination, she applied for a position with the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Education, studied for the placement exam, and secured full-time employment at a local school—where she continues to work today.

Sandy also discovered a way to grow her income through her talent as a seamstress, creating Hawaiian blankets, pillowcases, and kitchen items that she now sells alongside her son.

By January 2026, Sandy had paid off all $25,000 in arrears.

Sandy’s story reflects the reality many working families in Hawaiʻi face. In 2023, 45% of households lived below the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) Threshold, including 35% of families who earn too much to qualify for assistance but still struggle to afford basic necessities. Programs like Akahai E Komo Mai help families build the stability and resilience they need to move forward.

Because of your support, families like Sandy’s are finding hope—and a stronger future.

Keeping ‘Ohana Together Through Crisis on Maui When two young children were removed from their home due to abuse and neglect, their grandparents stepped forward to foster them, determined to keep their ‘ohana together.

The children carried deep trauma. One difficult day, a child marked a wall in their housing unit. The incident led to the family’s eviction. Soon after, identity theft caused severe financial problems, and the family faced homelessness.

Through the Statewide Resource Families program, Catholic Charities Hawai‘i worked with the Hawai‘i Department of Human Services to help stabilize the family and secure housing. Assistance with the first month’s rent allowed the grandparents and their grandchildren to move into a new home.

Today, the family is safely housed. The children are healing in a loving environment, and their grandparents continue to provide the care and stability they need to rebuild their lives.

Answered Prayers on Kaua‘i: Donna’s Story At 58, Donna works long hours as a driver while caring for her elderly mother, who relies on a pacemaker. When her mother was suddenly hospitalized, Donna had to miss work, losing income and falling behind on rent. The stress of possibly losing her affordable home weighed heavily.

Through Catholic Charities Hawai‘i’s Community Assistance Program (CAP), Donna applied for help with past-due rent. When her application was approved, she broke down in tears.

“I’ve been praying so hard and working as many hours as I can,” she said.

“I’m just so thankful. My prayers have been answered.”

In September 2025, CAP helped Donna stay in her home, giving her the peace of mind to continue caring for her mother.
