Kōkua Ka'ū

At Center Stage Hilo, our hearts are with the people of Ka'ū and everyone affected by the devastating impacts of Hurricane Lala.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and by the devastation so many families and communities are facing. Homes, businesses and a cemetery have been damaged and destroyed, roads and bridges have been washed out or blocked, and many people have been left without power, food, water, and other essential supplies.

To our neighbors in Ka'ū: we see you, we care about you, and we are holding your community close to our hearts.

If you are able to help, the following organizations are currently providing relief and support. The needs of the Ka'ū community could change daily, so for the most up-to-date ways to donate, volunteer, or provide needed supplies, please visit these organizations directly:

• Vibrant Hawaiʻi
  
• ʻIewe Hānau o ka ʻĀina
• 'O Ka'ū Kākou
• Lāhui Foundation
• World Central Kitchen
