Help Those Affected by the Maui Wildfires

The fires may have been extinguished, but the challenges for Maui and its people are significant.  The City of Brisbane is committed to assisting Maui's recovery by sharing relief funds directly with local non-profits, local leaders of Maui and Hawaii, and Maui community members.  We strongly encourage our residents to contribute and offer their assistance in any way possible.

Additionally, for those who are employed, we recommend checking with your employer to inquire about the possibility of matching funds.  Employer matching can significantly amplify the impact of individual donations, making it an excellent way to further support Maui's recovery efforts.
