Donations accepted for service workers
The Hawai’i Ag & Culinary Alliance is resurrecting the Kokua Restaurant and Hospitality Fund for Maui to provide immediate assistance to the restaurant, bar and hospitality workers displaced by the devastating wildfires that have impacted West Maui.
Donations may be made in two ways, one the general Kokua Fund, where the donation will be distributed among various restaurant and hospitality employers, ensuring that a wide range of restaurant, bar and hospitality workers receive the support they urgently need, a news release said.
The other way is to designate a restaurant or hospitality employer located between Lahaina and Kapalua in which funds will go directly to support their staff. If the designated employer cannot deploy the funds to their employees for any reason, the funds will revert to the General Kokua Fund.
Hawai’i Ag & Culinary Alliance is committed to making sure donations reach its intended recipients. No administrative fee will be collected by Hawai’i Ag & Culinary Alliance, ensuring that every dollar contributed goes directly to those in need.
