Maui United Way Announces Emergency Financial Assistance Program Launches $1,000 Cash Payment Process for Adults Who Directly Suffered a Loss or Damage and Lived in one of the fire impact zones.
Maui, HI – Following a week of granting funds to local nonprofits assisting fire survivors in communities across Maui. Maui United Way has now activated its Maui Fire Disaster Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to individuals directly impacted by the disaster.
Maui United Way is offering $1,000 in emergency financial assistance per adult in several convenient ways including pre-paid Visa cards, PayPal, Venmo, or direct deposit to personal bank accounts.
Each adult who meets the criteria needs to complete a simple form at mauiunitedway.org/individualrelief. People who need help completing the financial assistance form, including translation services, should dial 211.
“While this fund only scratches the surface for impacted families, we hope these funds will help Maui’s fire survivors to purchase some of their most urgently needed items,” said Nicholas Winfrey, Maui United Way President, and Chief Professional Officer.
