When wildfires swept through Maui on August 8, destroying the town of Lahaina, Americares launched into action, deploying an Emergency Response team to Hawaii within days.
The death toll is currently at 115 and counting, with over 800 still missing. The Americares team is on the ground now meeting with local partners to assess immediate health needs and offer our support for the long road ahead.
Our warehouse is building shipments of critical medicine, relief supplies and hygiene kits, planned for local health partners who can distribute them where the need is greatest.
Americares is prepared to respond to natural disasters across the United States and around the globe because of the support of humanitarians like you. And for a limited time, your gift will be TRIPLE matched.
