As a community of faith, we are called to come together and provide unwavering support to those who are suffering. It is in times like these that our collective love, faith, and compassion can make a tremendous difference. In 2008, the Hawaii Catholic Community Foundation (HCCF) was established by the Diocese of Honolulu as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation to support the parish and school communities in Hawaii. The Foundation has set up a dedicated webpage for donations to go directly to HCCF to support the relief efforts for our fellow community members affected by the Maui wildfires. You can make a tax-deductible contribution by visiting the following link: (https://tinyurl.com/MauiCatholic) Every donation, no matter the amount, will play a crucial role in helping to rebuild lives and restore hope.
