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:
