“Credit unions are all about ‘people helping people’ and it’s in this spirit that we’re coming together to help the people of Maui,” said Vince Otsuka, president and chief executive officer of Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union. “The overwhelming community support for Maui has been heartwarming. Just last weekend, our friends at the Maʻi Movement pulled together their volunteers on short notice and packed 200 feminine hygiene kits we’ll be sending along with other period products to Maui.”
Norman Okimoto, president of Hawaiian Financial Federal Credit Union, said, “We also want to mālama the scores of first responders and volunteers who continue their recovery and relief work, as well as keep our community safe and protected.”
