David Paik Donates His “Life Savings” to Hawai‘i Meals on Wheels |
 Help Deliver Hot Meals for Homebound Seniors and Disabled
About 50 years ago, David Paik started saving pennies in a piggy bank for a rainy day. Over the years, that piggy bank became too small, so David started using an empty bottled water container – the type used for water coolers – and he continued to faithfully save his loose change.
When the bottle was filled to capacity with pennies and other coins, he told his close friends about it, and David, owner of Aloha Island Leis, decided to give his “life savings” that he had started as a young boy to a nonprofit organization that would put it too good use. He chose Hawai‘i Meals on Wheels, at the prompting of his Kaimuki High School classmate, Andrew Nomura, who serves as the president of the nonprofit’s board of directors.
