Hawaii Community Foundation is a great way to help the Hawaii wildfires recovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maui Wildfires’ death toll has tragically increased to 55 after devastating flames tore through West, South and Upcountry Maui on Tuesday (August 8 2023). Satellite images of the tourist island showed the once-lush location transformed into an \u201capocalyptic\u201d scene of grey smoke and rubble. <\/p>\n

Authorities confirmed that the historic town of Lahaina, home to the US\u2019 oldest banyan tree and Hawaii\u2019s oldest operating hotel \u2013 Pioneer Inn \u2013 was engulfed and the wildfire is still not 100 per cent contained. <\/p>\n

The President Joe Biden announced a federal declaration of disaster on Thursday and pledged to do whatever was necessary to assist in the recovery. Grants for housing temporary, loans to repair homes, and low cost loans are all part of the assistance provided by this declaration. You can play your part and contribute to the recovery efforts via Hawaii Community Foundation \u2013 here\u2019s how. <\/p>\n
