DONATIONS RAISED
Since August 2023, the Kokua Restaurant & Hospitality Fund for Maui has raised and distributed more than $1,220,000 to over 1,200 restaurant, bar and hospitality workers impacted by the devastating Maui wildfires. HACA has been unwavering in its commitment to ensure that every dollar of the donations received are directly channeled to those affected by the fires.
Originally established as an emergency relief fund during the pandemic, the Kokua Restaurant & Hospitality Fund has been a beacon of hope for Maui’s culinary and visitor industry, which comprises 80% of Maui’s economy. The one-time $1,000 disbursement to eligible individuals offered tangible assistance in their journey to rebuild.
While the Kokua Restaurant & Hospitality Fund’s Maui relief efforts have come to a close, Hawaii Ag & Culinary Alliance remains committed to expeditiously disbursing the remaining funds to eligible waitlisted individuals that applied last year. Moving forward, while the fund for Maui wildfire victims has concluded, the Kokua Restaurant & Hospitality Fund will remain an integral part of HACA’s programs, ready to be activated to provide support for restaurant, bar and hospitality workers if unforeseen hardships impact the industry.
