In response to the wildfires that swept through Maui on Aug. 8, two organizations on Hawaii Island partnered to answer the call for help. Nalani Freitas, chair of nonprofit organization Ka‘analike, and Nellie Medeiros, corporate development and marketing manager of Hawaii Community Federal Credit Union (HCFCU), quickly mobilized their resources and kicked off the 'Maui Strong' fundraiser on Aug. 11. HCFCU offered their Kaloko Branch as the donation drop-off location. Through a collaborative effort involving volunteers from Ka‘analike, HCFCU, and the Royal Order of Kamehameha I Kona Chapter, the once-quiet parking lot was transformed into a bustling donation hub.
