Hi all - I've also asked the Nomad Futurist Foundation for sources for help. Here are a few if you are interested. There will also be a number of initiatives to help with goods/services donations which would be great. Hope these help too:
Maui Food Bank: https://mauifoodbank.org/ Maui Humane Society: https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/donate-olx/?formID=mainButton Hawaii Community Foundation: https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong Thank you for all of the interest and support as rebuild efforts get underway, Hawaii will need this industry. -Ilissa On Thu, Aug 17, 2023 at 2:18 PM scott via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote: > > I missed some of the below yesterday. > > > "Though I am curious about the Paniolo cable landing in Lahaina.
