Every year, The Salvation Army hosts a Thanksgiving Day Dinner where all are welcome and no one is turned away (subject to capacity limitations), serving a sit-down meal to approximately 2,000 attendees in a matter of hours. They rely heavily on our volunteers to support a host of duties including general set-up, prepping food, serving and clean up.

This year, a spirited group of 10 volunteers from Roberts Hawaii, including their family members, came together to support the Salvation Army’s annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner. Demonstrating a commitment to community service and generosity, these volunteers not only contributed their time and energy but also brought a significant donation from the Roberts Hawaii Foundation. The foundation graciously donated $2,400.00 to the cause, reinforcing the company’s dedication to giving back to the community and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need during this festive season.
