CPB’s Meals 4 Maui program raises $25K
Trending
Central Pacific Bank (CPB), in collaboration with Chef Hui on Friday announced the results of the Meals 4 Maui fundraising campaign, that provided locally sourced nutritious meals to residents impacted by the Maui wildfires, while supporting local small businesses and farmers. The partnership is proud to announce the public donated $11,841 in the effort. CPB matched that amount and then some bringing the grand total to $25,000!
The $25,000 provided 2,150 meals to the Maui community between Nov. 15 through Dec. 15, 2023, which included 250 Thanksgiving meals to registered Lahaina families within the burn zone, 600 meals to families and keiki at a Keiki Christmas Bash, and 1,300 meals to school students.
People helped the cause by donating to Meals 4 Maui at any Central Pacific Bank branch or online. 100 percent of the money collected went directly to Chef Hui, a coalition of local chefs and food service providers, who prepared holiday meals by locally owned and operated Maui restaurants and chefs. The donation actually supports three communities on Maui -- local farmers, local restaurants, and displaced residents -- meaning it helps to keep people fed and keeps farmers farming and chefs cooking.
As a reminder, the CPB Lahaina Branch is open with full services for the community and is located in the Lahaina Gateway at 355 Keawe Street, Suite 401, Monday through Thursday from 8:30am-4pm and Friday from 8:30-6pm. The ATM is available 24/7.
