Project Vision Hawaii will increase its emergency and disaster relief program efforts through a $25,000 donation from Walmart Foundation’s State Giving Program.
The grant from Walmart Foundation will be used to stock all three Project Vision mobile screening units with emergency preparedness supplies such as automatic external defibrillators and wound care items to help residents affected by natural disasters.
Project Vision operates three mobile screening units – one to serve Oahu, Molokai and Lanai, another on Hawaii Island, and a third shared between Maui and Kauai – in an effort to increase access to health care. The nonprofit provides free vision and health screenings to the state’s underserved communities with the goal of detecting and addressing eye diseases early on.
