HHG Donates $10,000 to the Hawaii Red Cross
Since the fires began, the Red Cross and partners have provided more than 2,100 overnight shelter stays. In addition to providing evacuees with a safe place to stay, the Red Cross and partners are providing food to eat and emotional support during this challenging time and are preparing to expand relief efforts if needed.
