The year 2016 hasn’t been kind to many of us, and it’s looking like 2017 will be worse. More than ever, the weakest and most vulnerable members of society need your help. If you don’t assist these charities, no one will.
During the holiday season, please take some time and look at all the ways you can help Maui’s neediest charities and nonprofit organizations. It might be easier than you think: they all want money, of course, but some of them they just need a little equipment or supplies that you may already own and were planning on getting rid of.
These are solid organizations that do great work, and it will take very little time and effort on your part to ensure that the holidays will be a bit better for those at their worst.

Due in part to federal education requirements as well as budget cuts to public school arts programs, many children have limited access to arts education and, as a result, more than ever the Hui serves as a vital community resource by providing arts education opportunities to youth and adults on Maui.
