Aloha kākou,
Mahalo nui to everyone who has reached out for information on how to help residents of Lāhainā, Maui. In addition to The American Red Cross, here is a list of local organizations that can use your support:
- Red Cross: www.redcross.org
- Maui Strong: https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong
- Maui United Way: https://mauiunitedway.org/disasterrelief
- Council of Native Hawaiian Advancement: https://www.memberplanet.com/campaign/cnhamembers/kakoomaui
- Maui Food Bank: https://mauifoodbank.org/donate/

Local organizations such as Nā ‘Aikāne O Maui Cultural Center and the Boys and Girls Club were destroyed in the fires as well. They do not have donation links on their websites but are relying on donations through Venmo. If you are interested in learning more about these centers and supporting these local organizations, please search for their name on social media to find the Venmo QR codes.
Naʻu me ke mahalo,
