/0 Comments/in , /by

Local Harvest, founded by West Maui resident Steve Phillips, is one of the main suppliers of fresh local produce from Maui’s farms to nonprofits providing meals for fire victims on the island. On September 1, 2023, Hawaii News Now reporter Casey Lund visited Local Harvest’s warehouse in Kahului to find out more about how the company supports local farms to provide food sources for the people of Maui. Steve Phillips also mentioned another project he’s working on – trying to provide tiny homes for all those people from Lahaina who lost their housing in the fire.

If you’d like to support Maui’s fire victims, Steve recommends donating to the Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation….

Hungry Heroes Hawaii is a grassroots community initiative redefining hunger. Set up during the COVID-19 lockdowns, HHH has been providing thousands of meals for the homeless since the pandemic and has expanded operations in response to the Maui fire tragedy. Hundreds of Maui residents are volunteering for HHH, including the indefatigable MeShell Batts, who has become one of the leaders of the HHH kitchen in Kula. Dr. Kathy Forti provided the raw footage that journalist CJ Grace used to produce this video. To volunteer your time or contribute funds, go to https://hhhmaui.org. Every dollar you donate will go straight to those in need rather than administration or salaries.
