How To Help Victims Of Maui Fires

By Michelle Kube

So many people have asked us what they can do to help victims of the devasting fires in Maui, which have so far killed more than a hundred people and left thousands homeless.

Here's how you can help.

Hawaii's Governor Josh Green suggests people give to the Hawaii Community Foundation and their Maui Strong Fund. This fund has raised over $34 million since the fires broke out and has already distributed over $4 million to more than two dozen local aid groups. The foundation has waived all donation fees, with 100% of funds going toward community needs.

Other giving Options

  • American Red Cross is helping to provide shelter and comfort to those in need.
  • Salvation Army is providing food and support for anyone affected by the fires.
  • Maui Food Bank is accepting donations. Every dollar donated provides four meals for those in need.
  • Maui Mutal Aid Fund is accepting donations to help families, elderly residents, those with disabilities, and those with limited or no insurance.
  • Maui Relief Fund, set up by United Way. Donations will be used to help victims of the fire.
  • Maui Humane Society is helping to provide aid to hundreds of injured and burnt animals and working to reunite animals lost with their owners.
  • Direct Relief is delivering medication and supplies
