It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the catastrophic wildfires took place on Maui. So much has happened in that time, and we wanted to take a moment to pause, reflect and honor all those impacted by the painful events.
It was incredibly humbling to work alongside Maui Food Bank and so many other partners and community members during the response efforts. In disasters, necessity and a shared sense of service bring people together in unprecedented ways.
At Hawai‘i Foodbank, we get to see the best of humanity, people helping people through some of our darkest times. Through blue skies and gray, our community’s aloha always shines through.
