How You Can Give Right Now to Support Maui Communities

The Valley Isle is seeing some of the worst damage and destruction in recent memory as a result of the Maui fires.

From Lahaina to Upcountry, homes have been completely destroyed, and businesses are being burned to the ground. Numerous people are finding shelter with little more than the clothing on their backs after hundreds were forced to escape. More than ever, we must demonstrate our aloha by helping the afflicted towns and people in every way we can.

We’ve developed a list of community funds and NGOs you can donate to right now because non-essential travel to Maui is currently discouraged in order to prioritise resources for locals.

Anything can assist and make a difference for those affected by the fires in these desperate times, and as the situation worsens, we’ll keep adding more donation locations to this list.
