Since August 15, All Hands and Hearts (AHaH) has supported volunteer coordination with the Hawaii Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (Hawaii VOAD), matching volunteers with established organizations on Maui. All Hands and Hearts first provided remote support, coordinating volunteers for local organizations – ensuring vital housing and resources were available for evacuees and internally displaced persons in the aftermath of the wildfires. Due to the dedicated efforts of their Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) and volunteer coordination team, All Hands and Hearts has become one of the lead resources for volunteer coordination and engagement on Maui. We are continually expanding our scope beyond Hawaii VOAD’s initial ask and showing that volunteer-powered disaster work can work alongside government entities. With a proven track record of successful volunteer coordination, we are building long-term relationships with council members across Maui County and have connected 304 volunteers with various collaboratives, hubs and partners around the island.
Our team has been working closely with the Napili Noho Community Hub, which supports over 100 families a day and aims to provide long-term support for the communities recovering from the wildfires over the next two years. Thus far, over 280 people have volunteered their time at this hub alone, helping sort and distribute supplies, running the markets and providing general support for the community.
In addition to the Napili Noho Community Hub, DART has connected with other Maui County hubs to review various scopes of work including reforestation, green waste removal and distribution, and is working to support the long term sustainability of these hubs. By facilitating and coordinating volunteers, AHAH is able to support these hubs that are essential to the local communities.
