Maui Wildfires Remembrance Events

[Link] As the anniversary of the August 2023 Maui wildfires draws near, we are encouraging the community to take intentional time this month to remember the lives of those we lost, as well as their families and loved ones. Everyone handles loss in different ways. Some may want to honor those lost privately, others might want to participate in community service or prayer, while others may want to honor loved ones alongside family or within a larger community event.

Below, are some remembrance events being planned throughout this month on Maui. For more information, visit kuhiniamaui.org.
