Dear RTS members,
We have been following the news about the devastating effects of the wildfire in Maui with deep sorrow for the lives lost and with ongoing concern for residents of Lahaina who have lost their homes and businesses. We join the AAG leadership in encouraging our community of geographers to offer support to those affected. We are sharing the list of local rescue and recovery efforts that the AAG distributed for members who may wish to send aid or donations.
The Maui Strong Fund is currently being used to help aid communities affected by the Maui Wildfires. You can donate online at its website, or you can send a check to Hawai‘i Community Foundation, 827 Fort Street Mall, Honolulu, HI, 96813. Make checks payable “Hawai‘i Community Foundation”.
Hawai'i People's Fund is mobilizing a grassroots, community-based response to the wildfire on behalf of Maui's most vulnerable people. Donate here.
Maui Food Bank is accepting both physical drop-off donations at various locations across Maui as well as online monetary donations on its website.
The Salvation Army is providing food and resources to those in need, and it is accepting Maui donations on its Hawaiʻi site.
Maui Mutual Aid Fund is a local effort run by volunteers looking to get funds and support to vulnerable residents, such as kūpuna (elderly), those with physical disabilities, renters and individuals without insurance. Make your donation here.
Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement is matching up to $1 million in donations for Maui fire victims as of Thursday night. More details.
The Maui Humane Society expects an influx of animals who need help as wildfires have displaced thousands. The group is currently accepting online donations.
Baby 2 Baby, a non-profit organization, is getting ready to send supplies for babies and children who have been affected by the Maui fires. Visit their website for more information or to donate.
Thank you,
Jennie and Joseph
