HONOLULU (December 22, 2021) \u2013 Following recent heavy rains and flooding events impacting the Hawaiian Islands, The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division today announced assistance events on Wednesday, Dec. 29, at Salvation Army Corps on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Islands. The events will offer disaster financial assistance [for those with damage to their residence who have previously reported damage to their respective counties] as well as emotional and spiritual care.

\u201cIn addition to offering these events for survivors, many in our communities also have been asking us how they can help those in need,\u201d said Victor Leonardi, Divisional Director of Emergency Services & Safety for The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division. \u201cDuring emergencies, the best way to help is to provide monetary donations which allows the delivery of the exact relief supplies needed within a community. Plus, The Salvation Army uses one-hundred percent of all donations designated \u2018disaster relief\u2019 in support of disaster operations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
