Team Koka distributes relief goods on Tinian
Team Koka purchased pillows, pillowcases, blankets, towel sets, $20 gas vouchers, personal hygiene and cleaning supplies and distributed them to a little bit over 300 families on Tinian over the last few days.
Friends and families of Team Koka sent donated items to the island and some monetary help. This relief was a united effort by all those who live off-island and still hold Tinian in their hearts.
