Our Mission Aloha United Way brings resources, organizations and people together to advance the health, education and financial stability of every person in our community. Our Roots Aloha United Way was originally established by Frank C. Atherton as the United Welfare Fund, under the Chamber of Commerce, in 1919 to create a more efficient way of distributing charitable giving. As Hawaii has changed and evolved over the last 100 years, so has our mission and work.

As we mark the anniversary of the devastating Maui Wildfires, we reflect on the resilience and strength of the Maui community. This strength continues to inspire us, turning a moment of crisis into a testament of hope and unity. Thanks to generous support from thousands of dedicated donors, Aloha United Way has raised over $4.2 million for the Maui Wildfire Fire Relief Fund, with 100% of proceeds supporting Maui United Way’s relief efforts. AUW 211 Helpline: In times of disaster or emergencies, the Aloha United Way 211 Helpline becomes a critical lifeline, providing real-time information on evacuation centers, safety tips, and assistance programs. Our dedicated 211 team handled over 7,100 inquiries in August 2023 alone, matching pandemic-level call volumes, and ensuring wildfire survivors received the help they needed. Aloha United Way continues to provide an avenue for the community to support recovery efforts in Maui. Donations can be made online or by mail, indicating "Maui Recovery." Here’s to Maui’s enduring spirit and our commitment to standing with them every step of the way.

Great way to tell the ALICE story - 3 maps - by Noah Sheidlower and Juliana Kaplan in Business Insider. Looking at the change in income status from 2010 to 2021, the maps show poverty has not changed much and the number of wealthier families (Above ALICE Threshold) has mostly decreased (except states with influx during the pandemic). But ALICE - Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed - households that have increased! This group that hasn't even had a name until now, but has been the fastest growing. #UnitedForALICE https://lnkd.in/e4fUcuDe
