After watching many affected by the flooding in Kihei year after year, and being so loud online about the issues it causes from property damage, physical injuries, and traffic congestion. It seems many are not sure how or where to take action. Here are a few places to start.

Join the Kihei Community Association. The county does listen to them, and the louder they are the more they will be listened. The way they get louder is to get more members. You do no have to live or own property in Kihei to join. You can also keep up with the latest plans for all of South Maui including Wailea and Makena. It is cheap, easy, and gives you an amplified voice in the community. http://gokihei.org

Join the local groups helping to restore watersheds including but not limited to Save the Wetlands Kula Community Watershed Alliance, East Maui Watershed Partnership, Mauna Kahālāwai Watershed Partnership, Maui Soil and Water District, watershed, Leeward Haleakala Watershed Restoration Partnership, South Maui Save the Wetlands, are just a few. These groups are making slow but impactful differences that not only restore native plants, animals and cultural places while protecting Maui's natural beauty, but also will protect us from flooding in natural sustainable ways.

Please feel free to add more conservation resources below. Local, culturally minded are especially appreciated. We CAN make change, but it will take getting off of social media and actually doing the work.

***PLEASE SHARE! WE WANT OUR MISSION TO GROW***
We WILL be having our Exchange on September 2! Our event runs from 9-11, with Volunteer hours from 7-12. We look forward to serving our community's needs of LIKE-NEW clothing, toys, books, homeschool items, baby needs.
We say LIKE-NEW because we don't want to flood our bins with stuff that should go in the garbage. We meet our community's needs with PRIDE. This isn't a "hand out", it is a lovely group of folks that just want to ensure your basic needs are met so we can all live better lives.
That being said, we will be taking limited donations for this event. We have been blessed with full bins and are looking to help some of the other overflowed donation sites to reduce their load. We sure appreciate your kindness and understanding. We are all doing the best we can to help each other through this traumatic disaster. If you have specific donations you're wanting to bless us with, please reach out to our messenger and let us know what you are looking to donate and we can see if it makes sense. Again, we're trying to not flood our already crowded bins. We have plenty to give and need to make room. We understand the urge to give and so appreciate the sentiment.
Please see below link to sign up, share with your friends and family. We have been here for you since 2016 and are committed to you for the long haul. Please come check us out and if you can, volunteer. We especially need the help for set up and tear down. 30 bins full of clothes and books is a lot of work!!! Mahalo Maui. We love and support you.
