ICYMI - Here is an important PSA: 68 public schools will serve meals free of charge over the summer to children ages 18 and younger – regardless of public school enrollment status – through its summer food service program.

The Hawaiʻi State Department of Education (HIDOE) announced on May 30th that 68 public schools will serve meals free of charge over the summer to children ages 18 and younger – regardless of public school enrollment status – through its summer food service program.

Beginning June 12, the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program will serve meals at select schools Monday through Friday, excluding state-observed holidays on June 11 (King Kamehameha Day) and July 4 (Independence Day). Breakfasts will be served from 7:15 to 8:45 a.m. and lunches from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon. SSO is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and was established to ensure that children continue to receive nutritious meals during the summer.

“Consistent nutrition is vital to growing children during the summer break when they may not be in school to receive meals,” said Superintendent Keith Hayashi. “We encourage all of our families to make these free meals part of their children’s summer schedules to maintain their healthy development. We are grateful to our participating schools and dedicated cafeteria staff for giving all keiki the opportunity to receive balanced, nutritious meals.”

Summer meals are offered for on-campus dining only; there is no grab-and-go option. Children do not have to be enrolled at a participating school to be served, and meals will consist of solid foods.

Please call Harry Wa’a if you have any questions or need more information. Harry’s direct number is (808) 792-3843. You can also call (808) 293-9231 if Harry is not available.

Mahalo and have a great summer break.

The other week Ko'olauloa Health Center staff led a free health assessment for Hau'ula Elementary staff members. Medical assistants conducted screening for weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Medical providers then reviewed results with each staff member and completed a diabetes risk assessment if needed. Those who qualified were invited to sign up for our CDC Diabetes Prevention Program. Finally a front office staff member was on hand to answer any insurance related questions.

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Today, Monday, August 5 - Health Care for People Experiencing Homelessness Day

Although all Community Health Centers provide care to vulnerable people in their communities – including some experiencing homelessness – more than 200 organizations receive targeted funding from the Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) program to meet the needs of those living without stable housing. Collectively, Community Health Centers, like Ko’olauloa Health Center, serve nearly 1.3 million individuals experiencing homelessness each year, a vast majority of whom seek care from HCH grantee organizations.

People who experience homelessness endure higher rates of chronic and acute disease, behavioral health conditions, and other needs that make them vulnerable to poor health, disability, and early death. HCH programs provide high-quality, comprehensive primary and behavioral health care, case management, and other supportive services to meet the needs of people who lack stable housing. Services focus on trauma-informed care practices that provide healing, choice, safety, and trust while empowering individuals as advocates in their own care.

The National Health Care for the Homeless Council works to improve the delivery of healthcare services to people experiencing homelessness by providing comprehensive technical assistance and advocacy support to HCH grantees. National Health Center Week is a time to honor and celebrate the work being done at HCH organizations and to advocate for policies that end homelessness by providing comprehensive housing as a basic human right.
