If You See Something, Say Something

Outreach has a new slogan: “If you see something, say something.”  If you see that an organization is in great need of help please contact Miho Teipel by email to determine if we may be able to offer support and lend a hand!

Assistance League of Hawaii’s Outreach Program is unfamiliar to most members. This is because it is, unlike our other programs, Outreach is not on-going.

Outreach is ramping up due to recent disasters such as the Maui wildfires. Member volunteers are ready to provide a “one and done” service that helps organizations in crisis or emergency situations.

As a result of the fire that destroyed the town of Lahaina, there is a lot of interest in helping with the emergency needs of keiki and families on the island of Maui. A committee has been formed to help with the task of finding ways we can helpThe Outreach program differs from our other continuing programs in that it is designed to respond quickly to a specific one-time need in times of emergency.

An ongoing fundraiser through RightGift is raising emergency funds for Maui fire relief.

In the future fires, floods, or other disasters may provide another reason to activate an Outreach.
