#Kokua Hawaiʻi Island donation drive

County of Maui’s Kōkua Hawaiʻi Island Donation Drive, with support from ILWU, which paid for the shipping, was met with an outpouring of support from the Maui community, with hundreds of residents coming together over the weekend to donate essential supplies for communities on Hawaiʻi Island impacted by Hurricane Lala.

While the response has been significant, more donations are needed to help fill the 40-foot shipping container that will carry the supplies to Hawaiʻi Island. The County of Maui is asking the community to keep the donations coming when the drive continues from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 6, at Queen Kaʻahumanu Center.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to support Hawaiʻi Island communities devastated by Hurricane Lala by participating in the Kōkua Hawaiʻi Island Donation Drive, taking place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 5 and 6, 2026, in Kahului, the County of Maui Office of the Mayor announced.
