Maui Fires | How You Can Help
Our hearts go out to our friends in Hawaii. Thousands of people on Maui and the Big Island have been forced to evacuate, leaving their pets and belongings behind. Many residents have lost their homes, loved ones and jobs. While this is a familiar tale, people on the islands cannot easily relocate or commute further to access the resources that they need. The people of Hawaii need our help. We’ve compiled a list of organizations that are doing their utmost to help.
Maui Mutual Aid is accepting donations which will be distributed to persons with disabilities, renters and those without insurance. You can donate by clicking the link here.
Maui Fire Relief Fund is accepting donations for the Maui United Way, which will be given directly to victims. Donate here.
Maui Humane Society is collecting donations to help Maui’s lost and found animals on the island. You can donate by clicking the link here. You can also be an SOS foster (if local) by calling: 808-877-3680 or visiting the website here.
CNN Impact Your World allows you to donate to one (or multiple) nonprofit organizations such as the Hawaii Community Foundation, Convoy of Hope, Airlink and more. Donate here.
The Maui Food Bank is accepting food as well as monetary donations to help residents. Donate here.
