How to Help Hawaii Wildfire Victims, Including Ways to Donate

Here are several ways you can help those affected by the devastating Hawaii wildfires

Hawaii continues to face devastating loss amid the ongoing wildfires in Maui.

The wildfires were first reported on Aug. 8 and have largely affected the areas of Lahaina and Kula in Maui since. The latest number of fatalities confirmed in the wildfires rose to 93, with only two people identified, Maui County confirmed in an update on Aug. 12.

According to data from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the death toll from the Maui fires has now made it the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than 100 years, overtaking that of the deadly wildfire in northern California in 2018, known as the Camp Fire, which resulted in 85 deaths and one missing individual still unaccounted for.

As a result of the tragedy, many are doing what they can to help out. While stars such as Oprah Winfrey and Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have pledged donations, Hawaii natives like Jason Momoa have shared nonprofits and organizations for people to donate to on their social media pages.

Below are a number of ways you can help the Hawaii wildfire victims.
