The Maui Fires: One Year Later

On August 8, 2023, wind-whipped brush fires caused catastrophic devastation on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The historic town of Lahaina was almost completely destroyed, and 101 people were killed.

The Salvation Army’s local teams across the island immediately leapt into action, personified by Lahaina resident Envoy Kevin Nagasaki, who lead the charge by serving and delivering meals, even though his own home and the church that he leads had both burned to the ground. But even in the face of his own loss, Kevin and The Salvation Army’s recovery efforts ended up serving or coordinating nearly a million meals to residents in need.

We take a look back, one year later, to remember the devastation and loss of August 8, and to look forward towards healing and restoration.
