Backpacks full of school-related items and financial donations poured in from the community, including the Elks Club in Waikīkī and the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset, as well as from JABSOM faculty, staff and students.
Medical students and other volunteers meticulously packed the school bags distributed to several homeless shelters in Honolulu, Kalaeloa, Māʻili and Waiʻanae.
