Stand with Maui

In the wake of Lāhainā's recent devastation, Governor Green's acknowledgement of this as the worst natural disaster in Hawaiʻi’s history strikes a chord with us all. As the first state Capitol and a place immersed in history of chiefs, Kings, and Queens,Lāhainā's significance is profound. The memories of Mokuʻula, Mokuhinia, and Kihawahine, and the time when boats could navigate freely around Waiola Church, remind us of its rich heritage.

The loss felt by Lāhainā resonates deeply, not just in the physical sense, but in the emotional ties to the land. Let's stand together, offering help and solidarity to heal and rebuild this cherished piece of Hawaii's history.

Your help is vital:

• Rebuild Lives

• Provide Essentials

• Restore Beauty
