The Windward Community Mental Health Clinic had been neglected since the 1970s and did not project the care we feel toward our local residents and families grappling with the effects of houselessness, mental illness, and/or substance abuse issues. Rotarians, family members, and community friends chose to donate their time to this project, spanning three days, to show that Rotary Cares About Mental Health. This is what community service is about! We created a short video to lift your spirits as you see the impact Rotary has on our local Windward Oahu, Hawaii community.
This project had members from the Windward Sunrise Rotary Club, the E-Club, Honolulu Metro Rotary, the Windward Rotary Club, as well as clinical mental health professionals all pitching in for a combined effort.
A big shout out to Hawaii Hardware, whose generosity supplied nearly all the paint, nails, brushes, spackle, and wood beams for our project! Habitat for Humanity Restore also contributed to our project with affordable decor and furniture. Rotary can bring community leaders together to do good. Join us for our next project!
