Toy Drives:

Throughout the holiday period The Shops at Wailea asks members of the community to support the Friends of the Children’s Justice Center and Maui United Way Holiday Toy Drive. Unwrapped toys can be dropped in four bins located around The Shops. These toys will then be sorted by age and gender and distributed to less fortunate children within the community.
