Maui Needs Help: Please donate

 

Organizations across Hawaii are mobilizing to help fire victims on Maui.

At least 93 are confirmed dead and thousands were displaced as fires fueled by dry winds from a passing hurricane tore through Lahaina and Kula. At least 271 buildings have been affected.

If you’d like to help recovery efforts, there are several ways that you can pitch in.

People took as many belongings as they could while evacuating from the historic town of Lahaina as fires tore through the area, leaving the harbor in wreckage. (Ku‘u Kauanoe/Civil Beat/2023)
