Maui Relief Efforts
Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,
The Muslim Association of Hawaii is shocked and saddened by the devestation and losses caused by the fires on Maui. On behalf of MAH we extend our deepest sympathy to the families who lost a loved one and we pray that their hearts and souls find peace and comfort. While the fire destroyed everything in its path, not even this tragic disaster can destroy our compassion, courage, hope and desire to help those in need. As such, MAH stands strong, supportive, and ready to assist our community that is affected by this tragedy and we encourage and urge you to participate by donating to MAH. 100% of what we collect for this cause will be sent to the approved organizations on the ground.
Due to our capacity, we are only taking monetary donations at this time. If you live on Maui and are affected by this tragedy or if you’d like to donate food or goods, here are some useful tips:
