"My family is from Maui, many of our students are from Maui, and they've lost their homes and everything they own, and so we wanted to do something because we have all of these resources here," Kalua-Santiago said. "At this point, we're looking more towards hygiene products, Ziplocs to put things in, reusable bags, masks for smoke inhalation, really anything to help with medical things," Kalua-Santiago said.
"There are lots of ways that you can help — coming and volunteering here and donating to a lot of orgs who are supporting the helping cause, so if you can do something, go do it," said volunteer Sean Allsop.
