Earlier this year, WCK worked with community leaders on the islands of O’ahu, Molokaʻi, and Maui, Hawaiʻi, where Kona Low storms caused intense flooding and put the Wahiawa Dam on O’ahu at risk of failure.
We supported residents who had already come together to care for their communities across the islands, helping them serve meals to the hardest-to-reach areas.
In 2023, WCK teams responded to the devastating wildfires on Maui, where we worked closely with local communities to support families who lost everything to the fires. Our teams served more than 150,000 meals as families began the long process of recovery.
Communities Know Best
In the wake of back-to-back Tropical Storms Lala and Moke, many residents of Hawaiʻi Island are still without power. WCK and our local partner Vibrant Hawaiʻi are working side-by-side to serve hot meals to families in Nāʻālehu, a town on the southern coast, as they wait for electricity to be restored. It’s communities who understand themselves best, so we’re working to amplify our partners’ reach while connecting with and serving as many families as we can.
