KOKUA FOR MAUI

Our hearts grieve for the Maui communities and ‘ohana (families) that have been impacted by the devastating fires. As the situation and needs of the community are ever-evolving, Goodwill Hawaii is committed to aiding in the immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts in ways that are consistent with our core mission: to uplift people through the power of work. These are some of the ways that we are currently supporting those who’ve been displaced from their homes and/or their jobs:

EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTERS

We have set up emergency response centers at five program offices statewide to support those who’ve been impacted with applying for resources and aid including: unemployment benefits, FEMA disaster assistance, food stamps, and emergency housing relief. We can also provide free job training, education and placement support if you’ve lost your job.
