Little School Has A Big Heart

Lanakila Baptist Church and School is 50 years old, and has been donating food to various missions for at least the last 14. This year it collected 19,387 pounds for River of Life Mission and Hawaii Foodbank. In addition, the children donated and packed 91 shoeboxes full of little Christmas gifts and sent them overseas to be distributed worldwide via Operation Christmas Child — a project of Samaritan’s Purse — to children around the world.
