Pu'ukapu Fire Recovery Efforts

You can make a difference by donating today to Waimea Hawaiian Homesteaders Association.

On Friday July 30, 2021 a fire broke out on the bordering Parker Ranch lands, which in turn ran through the Pu'ukapu Hawaiian Homes Ranch community over to Waiki'i, up Mauna Kea and down to the Waikoloa ahupua'a. The fire ravished through 40,000 acres mainly the Pu'ukapu ranch region burning down 3 homes, a few storage sheds, everyone's fence lines, water lines, also loosing some livestock to the fire.

This fund will help these families that were impacted by these fires. This is an effort to help rebuild what was lost, rebuild homes, waterlines, displaced families, displaced livestock and any other needs of the Pu'ukapu people.

Many have asked how they can help, which we have more then enough water and food donations at this time. This is how you can help, any monetary donation can help!
