FE: Malama Maui
Date Published:
Mālama essentially means to care for, protect and preserve.
First of all, I want to send warm Aloha, thoughts and prayers to our friends and ohana on Maui. (As a former Hawaii resident I’ve donated through Red Cross.)
Chefs are coming together to help feed thousands of people, volunteers, first responders and displaced.
On Tuesday, they put out 4,000 meals and on Wednesday, they are planning to put out 6,000 meals.
Chef Lee Anne Wong, whose restaurant Papa’aina was destroyed as part of the Pioneer Inn, said, “It’s amazing the way that the community has mobilized. The community just came together naturally.”
On Tuesday, they put out 4,000 meals and on Wednesday, they are planning to put out 6,000 meals.
The lead chefs are also UH Maui College alumnus, Sheldon Simeon and Leanne Wong.
The Chef Hui are preparing food at UH Maui College, in collaboration with Common Ground Collective, UH Maui College culinary instructors, The Salvation Army, Maui United Way, Maui Rapid Response and Maui County.
The meals are being delivered to the shelters and people in West Maui. They also fed people going to the airport.
They are looking for chef volunteers and those that have their food safety handler’s card. More information can be found on the Common Ground Collective’s website and Chef Hui’s website. https://www.chefhui.com
