As the scope of the disaster on the island of Maui continues to be revealed, we know many are looking for ways to help. Hereʻs how you can make a difference:
The Hawaii Salvation Army will start providing meals for thousands displaced in Maui emergency shelters. They are asking for monetary donations and large volume meal donations from restaurants and certified kitchens to aid in mass meal service at Maui shelters. All money donated for disaster relief will go to disaster operations.

The Hawaii Community Foundation Maui Strong Fund will support Maui communities affected by recent fires, including response and recovery efforts. The proceeds from our bake sale will go to this fund.
