In order to make the season brighter for the children of Maui, the Salvation Army and Walmart teamed up to ensure that the children affected by the deadly summer wildfires have a Merry Christmas.
According to Maui Now, the Salvation Army partnered with Walmart for an “Maui County’s AngelTree Distribution” event on Nov. 18 and 19.
This effort went to benefit children ages 15 and under who have been displaced or otherwise affected by the devastating wildfires that tore through the area in August.
Charmaine K. Hauanio-Kuewa, divisional director of development for The Salvation Army Hawaiian and Pacific Islands, stated, “Financial difficulties should never stand in the way of a child’s joy during the holidays.”
“The Angel Tree Distribution event is a testament to our commitment to helping Maui families overcome these challenges and we are grateful for the generosity and long-time collaboration we share with Walmart to lift the spirits of our community,” she added.
