Kapa‘a Middle School Fundraiser
VOLUNTEERING AT 
MCDONALD'S
18
When Kapaʻa Middle School needed extra 
hands for a fundraising event, Kauaʻi FCU said 
yes. Nikki, Hazelmae, and Carlyssa showed up 
at McDonald's, stepped behind the counter 
alongside school staff, and spent the day 
doing whatever was needed, taking orders, 
running food, and keeping things moving. 
Together, they served over 50 people.
That yes matters. Schools on Kauaʻi run 
on more than curriculum; they run on 
community. 
Fundraisers like this one fill the gaps that 
budgets can't, funding the programs, 
supplies, and experiences that shape what 
a young person's education actually looks 
and feels like. When a local business or 
organization shows up to help make that 
happen, it sends a message to students, 
parents, and teachers alike: your school 
matters to us, and we are invested in what 
happens inside it.
Showing up for the community doesn't 
always mean hosting an event or writing a 
check. Sometimes it means answering the 
phone when a middle school calls and asking 
what time you need us there. The ask was 
simple, and the work was unglamorous, and 
neither gave anyone pause for a second. 
Kauai‘i FCU was there because a school 
needed help raising money for its students, 
and helping is what this team does, no matter 
what the ask looks like.
