Maui Economic Opportunity helped deliver 10 bicycles and 200 senior gift bags to Lanai residents on Christmas Day. The nonprofit delivered the bicycles to King's Chapel Lanai for storage before Christmas Day. Freedom Ministries donated the bicycles and King's Chapel coordinated the gift giveaway. MEO also delivered the senior gift bags, which were prepared and distributed by Kaunoa Senior Services staff and volunteers. MEO's Lanai Branch provides specialized transportation services for kupuna, youths, persons with disabilities and people needing rides to dialysis and health appointments, to their jobs and to do their shopping. In addition to transportation services, the Lanai Branch administers most of MEO's programs, including rental/mortgage and utility assistance, Core Four Business Planning course and entrepreneurial expertise and kupuna organization support.
