Maui Fires Resources
by VLSH
Our hearts are broken over the devastation and immeasurably loss that has occurred to our neighbors in Maui. Our thoughts and Aloha are with all those affected by this tragedy. Volunteer Legal Services Hawaii (VLSH) remains committed to assisting Maui residents in the difficult weeks and months ahead.
Over the coming weeks, we will do our best to provide the Maui community with information and resources they may need. VLSH is coordinating with Legal Aid Society of Hawaii to distribute information and legal resources to those in need.
