Volunteer for “Lahaina Clean-Up Kōkua” This Holiday Season!

Volunteer at www.mauilongtermrecovery.org/volunteer

The Ho‘ōla iā Mauiakama Long Term Recovery Group (Ho‘ōla LTRG) and All Hands and Hearts invite the community to join the “Lahaina Clean-Up Kōkua” to support Lahaina residents impacted by the August 2023 wildfire. This effort will organize volunteers to clear ineligible debris from fire-damaged properties, helping homeowners prepare to rebuild.

Clean-Up Dates:
• Friday, Nov. 29, 2024
• Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024 (Thanksgiving Weekend)
• Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024

Volunteer Shifts:
• Morning: 8 AM – 11 AM (50 volunteers)
• Afternoon: 12 PM – 3 PM (50 volunteers)

Each day offers 100 volunteer opportunities, and people can sign up for multiple shifts. Volunteers will help with tasks such as removing masonry walls, tree stumps, fencing, and vegetation—critical steps to clear properties and reduce costs for homeowners.

All safety equipment will be provided, including gloves, hard hats, and safety glasses. Volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes (steel-toed boots recommended) and long pants and bring sun protection, lunch, and refillable water bottles. Water refills will be available onsite.

Interested volunteers can sign up at www.mauilongtermrecovery.org.

Join us to make a difference in Lahaina’s recovery and help bring hope to fire survivors as they prepare to rebuild!
