The Hoedown: Island Style
An evening supporting Marina Kai Apartments
Saturday, October 24, 2026
Moose Lodge, Del Rey Oaks, CA
About the Event
The Hoedown: Island Style, inspired by the spirit of paniolo, Hawaii’s proud ranching tradition, brings our community together for an evening of connection, celebration, and impact for Marina Kai Apartments, Interim’s newest affordable housing development.
Featuring dinner, entertainment, storytelling, and auction experiences, the evening celebrates community while helping advance housing, healing, and hope for adults living with serious mental illness in Monterey County. It also offers a memorable way to gather, give back, and take part in one of the season’s standout Monterey events.
About Interim, Inc
Interim is the only nonprofit in Monterey County that provides housing and supportive services for adults living with mental illness. Funds raised from the event make it possible for us to continue building affordable housing and provide on-going supportive services for our 18 housing locations, including over 300 beds, as well as employment and wellness services. By donating to and/or sponsoring this event, you are supporting the healing journeys of those we serve. Â
Why This Matters
Proceeds will directly support Marina Kai Apartments, Interim’s newest affordable supportive housing project, anticipated for completion in spring 2027.
Currently in the pre-development phase, Marina Kai is being developed to provide safe, stable housing for very low-income adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and living with psychiatric disabilities. The project will replace an existing four-unit building with a new three-story development featuring 23 studio apartments and one resident manager unit, creating more opportunities for stability, recovery, and a place to call home.
EVENT SPONSORSHIP AND BENEFITS
Becoming a sponsor for this event offers a meaningful way to invest in affordable housing, mental health support, and long-term community impact. Proceeds from the event will help advance the pre-development and construction of Marina Kai Apartments, Interim’s newest affordable supportive housing project.Â
