Volunteers pack bags full of school supplies for needy students

Hundreds of students will be getting some much needed help as they start a new school year.

Retired and current teachers of the Alpha Delta Kappa Zeta Chapter spent the day packing backpacks with school essentials like pencils, notebooks and markers.

It was all part of the Lokahi Giving Project’s "Back to School Drive."

These school supplies will be sent out to students in need across Oahu.

"The schools are hurting there’s a lot of people without jobs and the kids suffer and its not their fault you know so we all need to pitch in and help," said Bernice Ishida, one of the Alpha Delta Kappa Zeta volunteers.

And in case you’re wondering the supplies came from, they were purchased using the money raised during our Lokahi Telethon last month.
