Help Our Maui HEA Members and Others on Maui!

August 29, 2023

The Hawaii Education Association is continuing to monitor and assess how we can be of help to those on Maui following the wildfires. HEA has more than 80 members on Maui; eight of them are educators in Lahaina and seven are in Kula. We know the devastation has been overwhelming and there are many others in need. We are asking HEA members to do what they can to support the Maui community.

Please kokua by giving to any of the following credible nonprofit organizations. Mahalo!
