How to help survivors of the 2023 wildfires on Maui

NEW YORK — Last year’s devastating wildfires on Maui were the deadliest in modern United States history, claiming over 100 lives.

The fires also destroyed thousands of homes, businesses, and cultural and historical sites, particularly in and around the town of Lahaina, which was at one time the first capital of the sovereign Hawaiian Kingdom.

Today, many residents continue on the long road to rebuilding their lives and communities.

ABC News continues to help viewers get involved in recovery efforts for the survivors of last year’s wildfires on Maui.

The Kākoʻo Maui Fund provides resources for Maui-based relief efforts, focusing on Native Hawaiian organizations, businesses and cultural groups.
