The nonprofit Cades Foundation also has committed to donate $25,000 to the Maui Strong Fund and $10,000 to the American Red Cross of Hawaiʻi, which is providing shelters with information, meals, charging stations, relief supplies and health services.

“We are heartsick at the destruction and loss that the wildfires have caused on our beautiful island,” said Rick Kiefer, resident partner of the firm’s Kahului office. “While we are grieving and there is a long road to recovery, we are grateful that so many have come together to help our ‘ohana at this time of need.”
