Kaua‘i helps Maui in wake of wildfires

In response to the deadly wildfires in Maui, the Pacific Missile Range Facility has established collection points for donations to help those impacted by the devastation.

“Our ohana on Maui is facing unprecedented, life-threatening, and life-altering events with these wildfires. We send our deepest condolences for the lives lost in the tragedy,” said PMRF Commanding Officer Capt. Brett Stevenson.

“In an effort to provide relief to our brothers and sisters on Maui, we’ve established drop off points for donations on base that will go directly to those in need. Those sites include a drop off point outside the NEX Entrance, which is available to anyone with access to our installation.”

Items most in need include:

• Non-perishable food items (canned or dry goods)
• Rice
• Batteries, flashlights
• Toiletries
• Blankets
• Clothing and shoes, to include children’s items
• Children’s toys

“There are other ways to support those in need, and if you are in a position to be generous, I encourage you to seek out one of the many available charities that are contributing directly to the relief efforts on Maui,” said Stevenson.
