Chick-fil-A Kamokila in Kapolei has partnered with local, faith-based organization River of Life Mission for an all-day Community Care Event set for Monday, July 20.
According to the restaurant, it will donate “15% of qualifying sales” that day to River of Life Mission, which for more than 40 years has served neighbors across Oʻahu who are experiencing homelessness, poverty and crisis.
“River of Life Mission has been a source of hope for so many people in our community,” said Nick Lovan, Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Kamokila, in a statement. “Fifteen percent of proceeds from those who mention the River of Life on Monday will help support their important work serving neighbors across Oʻahu.”
How does it work?
Chick-fil-A Kamokila asks that guests who wish to participate in the fundraiser mention the organization at time of purchase when ordering in the drive-thru, for carry-out or while dining in. When placing a mobile order through the Chick-fil-A App, use the code “ROLM2026” (case-sensitive) before completing the mobile order.
This offer is valid only from 6:30 a.m to 10 p.m. at the 890 Kamokila Blvd. location on Monday, July 20. “The Community Care Event runs all day, and qualifying purchases made from opening to closing will count toward the donation,” per the restaurant.
Established in 1985, River of Life Mission aims to provide hope through hot meals and snack bags, outreach, practical care and connection to resources that help individuals and families move toward stability. With the aid of 17 staff members and longstanding partnerships, the organization served more than 200,000 meals in 2024 alone.
“Since I’ve been here, we’ve really tried to fortify our model, as well as be more innovative in how we are able to steward our resources,” Executive Director Kealiʻi Kane Gray told Aloha State Date in a recent interview.
Funds raised would help River of Life Mission scale sustainably, while helping people transition off the streets into “new life,” said Kane Gray, who joined the organization at the helm in October 2025.
Headquartered in Chinatown, the organization also hosts nearly 240 hub events monthly across Oʻahu in partnership with local churches, ministries and service providers.
