How You Can Assist Our Local Communities in Need
#MauiStrong
Our hearts are heavy as we try to navigate the challenges brought on by the recent fires that have devastated our Hawai’i home.
On Maui, words cannot express the loss we feel for our Lāhainā and Upcountry communities. We share our deepest sympathies to all who have been impacted and send our support to emergency personnel, families, and volunteers who are responding to this tragedy with meaningful action.
Our spirit of aloha and love for our ‘aina is strong.
Thank you for your patience as our services may be interrupted during this time. We appreciate your kokua (help) and consideration in supporting our communities with donations to the local organizations listed below. Every bit of generosity goes a long way.
As homes and local businesses have been lost, thousands of residents find themselves in need of shelter and living necessities. Join us in assisting those in need, together we can make a difference.
