September is Give Aloha Month!
During September, you can make a donation to Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin at any Foodland or Sack N Save checkout. In turn, Foodland will make a donation to the temple too!
How to Donate at a Store
- Shop at Foodland or Sack N Save.
- Show your Maika‘i card to the cashier or enter your phone number at checkout. (Individuals must use their own Maika‘i membership to make a donation. Donations made without a Maika‘i membership will not be matched.)
- Tell the cashier Hawaii Betsuin’s code number, 78500, and the amount of your donation (up to $249).
- Review your receipt to confirm the following appears: our temple name, your donation amount, and your Maika‘i number.
For more information, please see the letter and flyer distributed with the September 2024 Goji newsletter.
