Mark Dacascos Instagram – @lahaina_ohana_venmo Repost from @malikadudley • This is coming from “MAUI” – it’s what we need right now to make sure our beaches and sheltering sites don’t become a “dumping site” and our families get what they need not just now, but in the long run. We need donations to be intentional, sorted, and spaced out. Here are some tips: • Through the organization you plan to donate to, check the latest needs before donating. Sort, and send supplies when they are needed. Not randomly. • Adopt a family through @gofundme (there’s a Google doc that has been widely distributed), @lahaina_ohana_venmo or through personal connections • Donate $, cash cards, gift cards so families can purchase what they need • Share reputable organizations people can donate to from afar like @hawaiicommunityfoundation who has already dispersed 1.8M directly to Maui organizations currently doing the good work, @mauifoodbank who is distributing food directly to organizations feeding people on Maui right now • Help on the ground to disperse supplies from Lahaina beaches / shelters to community members who cannot leave their homes
