In partnership with Maui County, Kaibigan ng Lāhaina will host a town hall on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

The event will be from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Lahaina Civic Center Social Hall. It is meant to provide a platform for the Filipino community in Lahaina to voice their concerns, ask questions and receive updates on wildfire recovery efforts.

According to event organizers, this is the first town hall specifically organized to engage directly with Lahaina’s Filipino residents, many of whom continue to face challenges related to rebuilding, contractor fraud and accessing recovery resources.

Information regarding the support available through the recently awarded Community

Development Block Grant funds also will be shared.

Additionally, the county will deliver a presentation addressing common community questions and concerns with live Tagalog interpretation available throughout the session.

Additional Tagalog, Ilokano and Visayan interpreters will be on hand to assist with one-on-one conversations following the presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from the county and partner organizations.

Doors will open at 5 p.m. and light refreshments will be provided.

This event is open to the public.
