Ohana Strong
Council representative: Laura McClellan – la.mcclellan@icloud.com (505)412-9427
Members: Laura McClellan, Stefanie Cuomo
Ohana Strong (See the Ohana & Keiki Exchange page) is quite an event that takes place the first Saturday of every month at KLC between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. People from all over the island come to this free event, bringing what they can to be given away and taking what they need. It takes a lot of volunteers to set up the sanctuary, sort clothing, check people in and out, and finally, prepare the church again for Sunday worship.
