LIHU‘E — The Salvation Army recently accepted a $7,800 donation to continue its Soup Kitchen program for 2012, a news release states.
Coldwell Banker affiliates Bali Hai Realty and Makai Properties took the opportunity to celebrate the holidays by presenting the money.
Seen in the photo above are Salvation Army’s Major Mario Reyes, Lt. Sarah Smuda and kitchen manager Nathan Apuna together with CB Makai Properties co owners, Roberta Charles, Kelly Liberatore and Richard Shaw with Lois Lutz and Michael Schmidt of CB Bali Hai Realty as they hand over the check guaranteeing the Tuesday meal service will continue through the entire year ahead.
These are very challenging times for many folks on Kaua‘i as evidenced by the growing numbers of island families who rely on the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen for what is often their only nutritious meal of the day, the release states. Conversely, funding for such important programs has become increasingly scarce, so in this season of giving the Coldwell Banker companies took the initiative to give back to the community that they serve.
