The nonprofit Nā Kia’i O Maui will host a clothing and furniture community giveaway from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 25 at the Lahaina Resource & Recovery Center at 150 Hana Highway in Kahului.

Intended to provide clothing, furniture and household items to individuals and families in need, the event is free and open to the community. Items will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early, as supplies are limited and no holds will be allowed. Guests should bring their own bags, manpower and trucks for transporting items.

“This upcoming event is about showing up for one another in a real and meaningful way,” said Nettie Aquino, founder and CEO of Nā Kia’i O Maui. “We see firsthand the continued need, and this giveaway is one way we can help families access essential items while reminding them they are not alone.”

Nā Kia’i O Maui is seeking volunteers to assist with sorting clothing and preparing furniture in the days leading up to the event, as well as additional support on April 25. The Clothing & Furniture Community Giveaway is supported by Pacific Media Group.
