The devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui last week left a trail of destruction and loss of life in their wake. The impact on people, communities, and  the environment has been devastating. Rebuilding homes, communities, and lives will take months and years.

Our thoughts are with the families of those who have lost their loved ones, with those who lost their homes, and with the first responders working hard to find those that are still missing.

Employees may be wondering how they can help. This year’s Annual Giving Drive is just weeks away and will provide opportunities for employees to make payroll and time donations, credit card and e-check payments, and host special events to raise funds to support recovery and restoration in Maui.

There are also ways to help now. The Governor of Hawaii has released some tips for Contributing to Wildfire Relief, which includes some recommended nonprofit organizations taking part in the response. Learn more on the Governor’s website.
