Pacific Business News: Two nonprofits jointly purchase former credit union properties

Goodwill Hawaii and Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawaii have jointly purchased properties at 571 Quinn Lane and 576 Halekauwila St. in Kakaako, a partnership that “represents a shared vision and commitment by the two organizations to improving the lives of individuals and families through education, mentorship and empowerment,” the nonprofits said. The two properties, previously owned by Hawaii State Federal Credit Union, offer “ample parking” and 14,000 square feet of interior space that will serve as offices, classrooms and multi-purpose rooms for Goodwill Hawaii’s at-risk youth and adults with intellectual disabilities programs, as well as BBBSH’s youth mentoring programs, the organizations said.
