By West Hawaii Today Staff | June 22, 2020

The newly established Charitable Foundation of Hawaii Realtors recently donated $12,500 to The Food Basket. A check was presented Thursday to Executive Director Kristin Frost Albrecht and Marshall Akaumu, West Hawaii Operations Manager of The Food Basket, by Don Watson, director of the foundation, Andee Bemrose, 2020 president of the West Hawaii Association of Realtors and Dennis Yates, 2020 president of the Hawaii Island Realtors during the monthly Ohana Food Drop at the Kona Community Aquatic Center in Kailua-Kona.

The funds are part of a $50,000 donation by the state association to benefit food banks on each island.

“We are honored to be able to contribute these funds to help families and individuals in need who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19,” said Watson of Don Watson Realty and a foundation board member.
