Rainbow Helicopters and Hawaii Food Bank aid Maui Wildfire Relief
//////////
Volunteer employees of Rainbow Helicopters on Oahu helped with the Hawaii Food Bank Annual Collection day August 26, 2023. Street-side sign wavers got the attention of travelers and helped direct them into the giving stations. Other volunteers unloaded the cars and trucks for the sorting crews. Then the donated food, household items, and cash were collected, sorted, packed for shipment, and palletized for loading. Everything donated, goods and cash, will be sent to support agencies on Maui to directly help those most affected by the August 8th wildfires.
Our thoughts are with our Maui ‘ohana and everyone impacted by the devastating wildfires. Together with our extraordinary community, this year’s Food Drive campaign raised more than $300,000 and gathered 43,000 pounds of food and supplies for the Maui Relief Fund — making it possible to provide food for more than half a million meals toward Maui relief efforts.
