The Hawaii Chamber of Commerce Foundation/Chamber of Commerce Hawaii is raising funds to assist the businesses impacted by the wildfires on Maui, Hawaii Island and throughout the state of Hawaii. The fires tore through hundreds of acres on Hawaii Island and Maui, destroying businesses and homes. Historic Front Street in Lahaina, Maui, a major economic hub for the entire county, was engulfed.

This fund is dedicated to supporting the businesses and employees impacted by the fires. Funds will be collected through the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce Foundation, a 501(C)(3) organization, operating exclusively for Charitable, Literary, Educational and Scientific Purposes.

The priority now is safety and containing the fires. The losses and damages are hard to immediately calculate, but we know the road to recovery will be difficult. Our friends and ohana need our support now, especially in the rebuilding stage.

The Chamber of Commerce Hawaii stands by our partner, the Maui Chamber of Commerce, and is here to support impacted community residents and businesses with resources and assistance.

We also stand ready to assist Hawaii Island as well, and our partners, the Kona-Kohala and Hawaii Island Chambers, which also are facing brushfires.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those impacted.
