Friends of the Children’s Justice Center Oahu

What We Do

As the non-profit partner to the Children’s Justice Center of Oahu, Friends gives the Center what it needs to help children from the moment they arrive for a forensic interview. With Friends’ help, the Center is able to provide snacks, meals, and comfort items while the child victim is at the Center. In addition, Friends provides essential items that fill foster care bags, which the Center gives to victims who must enter foster care. Through its Ho‘ola Na Mana‘o Program, Friends purchases goods and services that are crucial to helping victimized children heal even after their services at the Center end. Our Back to School project provides hundreds of children each year with fully packed backpacks to start the school year, and through our Holiday Gift Project, we are able to ensure hundreds of children have gifts to end their year.

Who We Are
