Volunteer pilots to deliver gifts and meals to 3,000 Hawaiian children in December

Based on · First reported 5 Oct 2026

Aloha Aviators will operate flights from Dec. 8‑24 to deliver gifts and meals to about 3,000 children and teens across Hawaiʻi whose parents are incarcerated, according to the group’s plan.
The organization has raised more than $30,000 in cash and in‑kind donations for the effort, and the delivery dates will depend on weather conditions; nearly 4,000 Hawaiian children lose a parent to incarceration each year, and the group notes that Hawaiʻi has never set aside dedicated funding for these children.
