Despite the recent loss of its facility in West Maui due to the Lahaina wildfire, organization leaders say The Salvation Army remains unwavering in its dedication to serving the Maui community.

The organization continues to operate essential food distribution and feeding programs, and is currently providing direct financial assistance to survivors, maintaining a strong presence in the face of adversity, and offering a lifeline to those affected by the disaster.

For 128 years, The Salvation Army has offered the island community a diverse range of programs and services. This includes family stores, food distribution, homeless services, character-building, community recreation programs, daycare, music and arts programs, women’s ministries, worship services and more. Additionally, the organization provides assistance in times of need through its emergency disaster services.
