By the Inside Outreach team · June 26, 2024Some of the best people in Hawaiʻi will never be on the news.
Patty and Roger are one of them. This couple feeds the homeless in Kailua. They aren’t a big organization. They don’t have a building. They just see people who are hungry and they cook.
Why we sat down with them
Lucy and Daniel sat down with them for a full podcast episode. We wanted to hear how they started, what keeps them going, and what they’ve learned about homelessness in a place everybody thinks of as paradise.
Because here’s the truth. Paradise isn’t immune. People sleep on the beaches where tourists take pictures. Kids go to school from tents. And a lot of the folks out there worked their whole lives before something knocked them down.
Help the ones already doing it
This is the heart of Inside Outreach. We don’t believe you always need to start something new. A lot of times the best thing you can do is find the Patty and Rogers in your neighborhood and get behind them.
Bring a pot of rice. Drop off water. Ask what they need and then go get it.
Watch the full episode, and then go find somebody in your community who’s already doing the work. Help them thrive.
