Updated Sep 10: Here's what I found so far. It has taken me a long time to curate these, so if anyone has time to help me with this section, lmk here on a google form I made that will make it easy for me to see your notes.

Gofundme, there are a lot of people doing gofundme. I have not heard of any problems yet. This is a close-knit community, so a lot of people who do this share and share alike.

Maui Brewing Company one is reliable 

Feed My Sheep 

Salvation Army

Maui Food Bank Disaster Relief SITE

Kings Catheral has collected much

Calvary Church West Side Steve Santos

Project Hawai'i, Inc is a volunteer staffed nonprofit assisting the unsheltered children and families

Maui Aloha Way is another trusted organization.

The Pacific whale foundation is a great organization they are using their own boats to help bring the donations

Maui Humane society is a great organization also.

https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/strengthening/maui-strong-fund - HCF is well established. They opened the fund on Wednesday and began distribution to vetted existing Maui orgs that can provide direct services immediately.

Maui Food Bank. Has been feeding hungry people on Maui for years. Have excellent distribution

CLEANUP NEEDS: the cleanup phase is about to start, and we don’t know how to do this, but we will soon need stuff for cleanup, like pop-up tents, tarps, all types of gloves for safety, masks to protect form airborne toxins, etc.

FOR PEOPLE Electricity is unavailable, so they need solar power, generators, chargers, etc

PEOPLE who live there an don’t want to leave their land or homes to stay in a shelter need sleeping tents

MONEY: People lost business, jobs, cash burnt, many people have nothing and need to buy basics, prescription medicines, random life things

This timeline of the fire youtube video explains it pretty well > 

1. Words cannot describe the devastation. At least 115 people lost their lives in the fire, 66 are still missing. Thousands are without housing and lost everything. 
2. Many are staying in gymnasiums, and local places where facilities were set up. UPDATE: Most people now have some form of temporary housing and are NOT staying on cots in gymansiums, etc..
3. The community here is amazing, and people are constantly trying to help each other with anything and everything.
4. The rebuilding will be a long process. 
5. People are incredible here.

For what it's worth, I stick to news sources that are based on facts rather than opinions or speculation. 

Here are some that I have found beneficial:

SEP 8 Paddle Out: This was an important event for a lot of use here on Maui to come together. This YouTube video does a pretty good job of recent updates. 

Plantation Disaster Capitalism: Native Hawaiians Organize to Stop Land & Water Grabs After Maui Fire

Stealing Water: Disaster Capitalism on Maui by Tina Lia – Founder, Hawai‘i Unites

Yes. I live in Kihei, was evacuated, found a place to sleep.

Fire was behind my neighborhood, coming my way, huge, scary, smoke dense.

My place is fine and I am safe, def shook up, as all of us are here.

I love my Maui community. Aloha is real, and we are all helping each other. We are especially focusing on the people who were displaced, injured, who lost homes, jobs, family, and who are really in need.

Lahaina is the historic town that burned down, and all of here are rallying day and night to help people with anything and everything.
