Giving Respect
Showing Kindness
OVER 30 YEARS AGO, DR. THOMAS W. HAWKSLEY (AN ORDAINED PASTOR) BEGAN HIS MINISTRY ON THE SANDS OF WAIKIKI BEACH. HIS WORK CONTINUES TO THIS DAY.
Project 860 Waikiki was founded by Dr. Hawksley and his wife Danielin. After decades of funding activities from their own personal resources to benefit the needy in Hawaii, Dr. Hawksley has retired and is now focusing his energies to increase the amount support for those in need on Oahu.
This family has watched situations on the Island worsen over the years. No matter how much they did to help, the number in need grew. They had to face the fact that they could not make the change they wanted on their own. This is why Project 860 Waikiki was formed and this is why we are asking for your help – both as a volunteer and as a financial supporter.
There are plenty of various food distribution programs on the Island of Oahu. However, based on the processes and methods that most of them use, there is a significant number of needy people who are overlooked and not served. Most organizations will require those in need to either go to a facility and line up to receive their assistance or to be present when they visit a distribution location. This may be an effective method when providing aide to the homeless or unemployed but not for the working poor. For this people group to receive help could literally make them choose between working and receiving food. Our strategy is to help these people by delivering predetermined food items to these individuals at their home. We hope to obtain the majority of our food supply by buying very specific items in bulk. We will log the quantities in to a database and then by using a shopping cart software we will allow our clients (as we will call them) to log onto a secure website where they have already been provided a certain credit. They can use those funds to buy only the items that could benefit them the most, up to the maximum on their spending card (the amount will be determined after they have a personal interview with one of our team members). We will then personally deliver their selection to their home. In doing so, this section of the population will be able to take advantage of our food distribution program while at the same time earning money to provide for their family’s other needs.
Project 860 Waikiki is eager to announce its plan for a month long internship for people around the world to help our community at our Non Profit location on the island of Oahu. We are looking for committed and caring individuals who are willing to spend 860 hours to help reach the needy in the State of Hawaii. If you are willing to devote yourself to fundraising through our Diamond Head Shave Ice food truck, we will be able utilize the funds that are raised to provide the needs of the people in our community. We ask that you remember the name of this Project as it is also our phone number. You can reach us at phone number 860-WAIKIKI (860-924-5454) to express interest and request more information.
One of Project 860 Waikiki target audience includes Oahu, Hawaii residents who are living above the poverty line (they have the means to provide for most of their daily needs), but do not have the knowledge to grow their financial situation. Many of these people lack the basic, necessary skills to educational training such as budgeting, financial planning and credit repair which may be required to elevate their financial well-being. We strive to aid these individuals and families by teaching them this vital information.
One of the primary purposes of Project 860 Waikiki is to educate and train the area’s youth to become properly trained entrepreneurs. We intend to provide mentorship opportunities to carefully selected individuals and teach them the necessary skills to own and operate a successful business, including how to start your business, how to market it, how to keep and maintain all legally required financial documents and finally how to (hopefully) earn a lifetime profit. We intend to obtain and utilize a shave(d) ice food truck for this purpose.
Project 860 Waikiki aims to provide disaster relief aid in the form of food and water to the severely disadvantaged who are affected by either a lack of existing community resources or a lack of funding and supplies to existing local infrastructures in the time of need. Project 860 Waikiki operates and focuses its resources locally and globally to communities who meet the aforementioned criteria regardless of their geographical location.
Diamond Head Shave Ice became a leader in the industry by offering a catering service that provides authentic, Hawaiian style shave ice. They operate at all types of events both large and small. They believe that providing excellent customer service is just as important as the food items and shaved ice that they sell. A large part of their success comes from paying attention to details. An example is only using the best ice shaver on the market which allows them to make the fluffiest ice possible and not a crunchy sno-cone. There is a big difference between the two and their customers know it and so will you. Their machines allow the snow to literally absorb their syrup resulting in your first bite being just as delicious as your last, unlike a crunchy sno-cone where all of the syrup and flavor goes straight to the bottom.They like to provide their customers the best of both worlds, Hawaii meets New Orleans if you will. At Diamond Head Shaved Ice, they truly believe that their product is simply the best you can find anywhere and after just one bite we think you will agree. They promise to strive to provide your event with outstanding, real shave ice paired with excellent customer service all at a reasonable price to you. They look forward to hearing from you and working with you in any way they can to help make your event one that is sure to be remembered by all. Let them prove to you why their shave ice is truly the best shaved ice anywhere. The best part is that 100 percent of all of the profits from this food truck go towards supporting Project 860 Waikiki
We would like to invite you to check out the Official Shaved Ice Magazine which features many of the benefits of Diamond Head Shaved Ice. We are also including a fun radio program that was put together and given as a gift the owners of Diamond Head Shave Ice.
Project 860 Waikiki counts itself fortunate to have the founders of Diamond Head Shave Ice serving along side us. They created what has been called The Island’s most recognizable mobile food eatery. We are working on getting a dedicated version of this truck to be used exclusively with our Non-Profit.
Not only will this truck give us the opportunity to raise much needed funds, it is also an excellent tool that can be used to help mentor the young people of Oahu who want to learn how to run a successful business. They will be taught all aspects of the business from preparing mouth watering flavors to how and where to market their products to how to properly record all the financial information and the best way to reinvest their profits.
