Maui Food Bank Fire Relief Fund

Donation protected
UPDATE - 10/2/2023

Hello everyone!

It is Kate Chain and Kate Weidknecht. We just wanted to take a moment to share how grateful we are for everyone who has participated/donated to our GoFundMe to support the Maui Food Bank and the fire destruction. Also another shout out to Collen Chain and Luna Frisch for organizing a clothing sale "All Things 3 for Maui". They had great success in raising money as well, and thanks to those who visited the Chain house to participate in the sale. We currently are at $1,775 which is amazing. We will continue this GoFundMe for about 2 more weeks.

Feel free to share with anyone who may be interested in giving a donation. USA Today stated that over 2,200 places of structures were destroyed. We are raising this money to help the families and the town that we both love and has lost so much. Funds go directly to the Maui Food Bank and the locals ( our friends live there) are getting good supplies and care through the Food Bank. Thank you to everyone!!! And please keep your travel plans to Maui- they rely on our tourism dollars- love on Lahaina!


Love and Mahalo-

Thank you girls!!!

Hi everyone,

Our names are Kate Weidknecht and Kate Chain. We are both Sophomores at Arapahoe High School in Denver, Colorado and have been best friends since second grade. Every summer for the past five years, we have hosted a Dance Camp for young kids in our neighborhood. This year, we planned it but we couldn’t find the time to actually do it. Our plan was to donate some of our money to Maui to help after the fires. Since we never had the dance camp, we figured we would try another way to raise funds.

We have done some research on what organizations would benefit most and we have decided to raise money to benefit Maui Food Bank. Our goal is $5000 for now but we know we can do more!

The Maui Food Bank is Maui County’s primary safety net for hunger relief. The Food Bank provides safe and nutritious food to anyone in Maui County who is at risk of going hungry. Of those served, 40% are children and youth. Working with more than 100 distribution partners and programs, the Food Bank distributes safe and nutritious food to individuals, families, kids, the working poor, seniors on fixed incomes, the homeless and anyone who is at risk of going hungry.

We would love it if you could help us raise money for everyone affected in Hawaii. Once we meet our goal, we will send the money directly to the Maui Food Bank on everyone’s behalf.

We will keep everyone posted on our progress and hope to make a difference in many families lives!

Thanks everyone,

Kate and Kate
