How To Give Back To Maui

We have heard from so many of our owners, guests, and local friends who have asked how they can help those impacted by the Maui wildfires. Many of our owners made their homes available to our resort ohana who lost their homes in the days and weeks after this tragedy unfolded.

Our priority has and continues to be to take care of our resort ohana and ensure they are housed, fed, and have clothes, support, and opportunities to provide for themselves and their families when they are ready to return to work. In addition, we set up a GoFundMe account to aid DRH staff who have been impacted.

When you come to Maui, whether you want to volunteer for a day while on vacation or donate to vetted charities, we’ve compiled a list of ways to help that don’t require training or experience.
