The Maui fires are causing some of the worst damages and destruction we’ve seen in recent history on the Valley Isle.

Homes have been destroyed and businesses are being burnt to the ground, from Lahaina to Upcountry. Hundreds have had to evacuate, and many are sheltering with not much more than the clothes on their backs. And so now, more than ever, we have to show our aloha by supporting these communities and affected individuals in any way we can.

Since non-essential travel to Maui is being discouraged right now in order to prioritize resources for residents, we’ve compiled a handful of community funds and nonprofits you can contribute to right now. In such dire times, truly anything can help and make a difference for those affected by the fires, and we will continue to add more donation centers to this article as the situation continues to evolve.
