Kokua for Maui

John's Marketplace and our friends at Point Blank Distributing, Maui Brewing and other area businesses recognize the recent fires have had a significant impact on Maui, affecting not only the local community but also the businesses and livelihoods of many. The challenges posed by homelessness and the displacement of individuals due to the fires add to the existing struggles faced by the people of Maui. The anticipated impact on tourism and the subsequent effect on hospitality workers further compound the difficulties.

We are raising money (goal of $25,000) to benefit Ka Hale A Ke Ola Homeless Resource Centers, Inc. in Maui, whose mission is dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness, to serving the needs of the homeless and hungry on Maui by providing emergency food and housing, voicing their concerns, and empowering them to take responsibility for their own lives and to call on the community to assist in these actions.

We on the West Coast understand the devastation caused by wildfires and we share our sense of empathy and solidarity for communities facing similar challenges. The interconnectedness and sense of "Ohana" or family spirit transcends geographical boundaries.

Net proceeds will go directly to Khako

Thank you for your help.
