Matthew 25: Ministries is responding to severe wildfires sweeping across Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. Dangerous wildfires devastated parts of Maui recently, ravaging island communities including the historic town of Lahaina, a National Historic Landmark and former capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. More than 100 people have lost their lives and thousands have been displaced, making this disaster the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than 100 years. Hawaii was experiencing drought conditions when a nearby hurricane brought high winds with gusts over 60 MPH sweeping across the islands, burning vegetation and then spreading into more populated areas, knocking out power lines and decimating communities. Hundreds of buildings in Lahaina and other towns have been damaged or destroyed.
In addition to shipping essential supplies such as personal care kits, baby supplies, paper products, cleaning supplies, first aid and safety kits, personal protective equipment and more to areas impacted by the wildfires, Matthew 25 also deployed our team to assist with supply distribution, provide additional services, and work with partners to plan for ongoing needs.
"The devastation from this wildfire is heartbreaking. This is a historic event in the most tragic sense of the word, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been impacted by this disaster. Everyone who has been affected will have a long and challenging recovery and we are grateful to our corporate product donors, financial donors and volunteers who support our work every day and make it possible for us to help during times of need like these. Matthew 25 is committed to ongoing support for the areas impacted." - Tim Mettey, Matthew 25: Ministries' CEO
