About Us
The
Maui United Way is building a stronger, healthier community by
 developing
resources and partnerships that make a measurable difference in people’s
lives. We help support 27 agencies and programs to promote self-sufficiency;
strengthen families; improve health; support youth, elderly and adults
with special needs; and provide the basics for people in crisis. We
unite individuals and institutions in a community-wide effort to plan,
sustain, deliver and evaluate effective human-service programs that
meet the critical needs of Maui.
