Orlando United for Maui, Hawaii Wildfire Relief
Tax deductible
As thousands of residents continue to flee the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii, which has now become the deadliest wildfire in modern U.S. history, many are wondering how they can lend a helping a hand.
Hawaii Gov. Josh Green called the wildfires, which have killed at least 96 people and resulted in more than 11,000 evacuated, "the largest natural disaster in Hawaii state history." Green estimated the flames had already caused "billions" of dollars worth of damage, according to NBC News.
Jeff Hickman, spokesperson for Hawaii’s Department of Defense told TODAY that the biggest thing people can do now to assist in the recovery is to send monetary donations. There are at least 1,100 people in shelters and an overflow of donated items like water, baby formula and pillows.
Hawaii Community Foundation's "Maui Strong" fund was created to provide community resilience with resources for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
Together, Orlando can make a difference and help Maui Strong!
