Our expert recommendations for who to support and how to give.
Extending the Aloha Spirit and Uniting for Relief
Renowned for its beauty, serene beaches, and famous Aloha Spirit, the Hawaiian islands have devastatingly been marred by deadly wildfires. These fires have claimed the lives of at least 96 people, forced more than 11,000 to evacuate, and left communities in despair. The wildfires are now considered the largest natural disaster in Hawaii state history, and the deadliest wildfire in modern U.S. history, which means the need for immediate and sustained support has never been greater.
In the face of unprecedented devastation, the raging wildfires have not only left a trail of destruction but have also brought forth the unyielding spirit of solidarity and compassion. As we come together to help those in need, we’ve compiled a list of credible relief organizations that are actively working to provide emergency assistance to the victims of this tragedy. Here are some recommendations that you can use to get involved in supporting Maui, the town of Lahaina, and the affected Hawaiian communities.
