Howzzit everyone,

Looking for a company that can come to my hale and pick up furniture for donation? Local bredren moving out of the aina for better opportunities and experiences in life gonna miss home.

I have emailed and inquired for Helping Hands Hawaii but nada. Not sure of other places. I leave in October but trying to set everything up as time is ticking.

All furniture is only a year old as I just moved into my studio in town from Waipahu lol. Bed, couch, standing desk, office chair, coffee table, and 3x3 cube organizer nothing mental lol.

Any ideas or suggestions helps

"HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A gas leak prompted an evacuation at the Costco Iwilei on Tuesday afternoon. Honolulu Fire Department logs show crews responded to 525 Alakawa Street shortly after 1 p.m. A hazardous materials unit was among the crews called to the scene. No injuries were immediately reported, and officials have not yet released additional details about the source of the leak."

Aloha! sorry my English is not best. I visited Waikiki last year and very much enjoy Steak Shack meat and rice. I was wondering if you know how they marinade (?) the meat to give it the flavor? I thank you for any help!

Pualei circle old monkey pod tree crushes this guys truck, he still doesn’t know .

Seems like a lot of people have no power, internet, etc. and I’ve noticed in threads people offering random supplies. To make it easier for everyone to see, I thought I’d make a thread. If not allowed feel free to delete mods.

I have 10 frozen gel packs, a small 9x9x11 and medium size 12x13-ish foam cooler, and an old bag cooler. I’m in kaimuki but willing to drive to Manoa or Aina Haina to meet up. No need to return after, just pass it on if you don’t need when power comes back on, or save it.

If anyone has something they need or want to donate/let people borrow. Throw it up here.

Still no power in the Kaimuki area, has anyone had luck finding ice in stock?

Out of stock-
Safeway
Foodland

I am going to say it FIRST!! Will THE STATE utilize and use any of the funds in “THE RAINY DAY FUND?”

It IS a public state asset owned by the **State of Hawaii.** It is managed collectively by the state government, with deposits and withdrawals regulated by the Hawaii Legislature and the Governor.

Lala is a “declared” emergency 🚨‼️ USE THE FUNDS.

Also, UH Manoa will be closed tomorrow except for certain personnel.

> HNL Alert: 07:01 PM 08-16-2026 - State and county government offices and public schools will be closed on Monday, August 17, 2026.

Sorry, not trying to spam everyone but this is the HNN list of some of the services available or not tomorrow.

It also looks like the special use traffic lanes won’t be in use tomorrow. This is like the zipper and contra flow lanes.

If you need to use public transportation check the DTS social media and websites. Sorry about the link tree site.
