Intrepid launches Hawaii wildfires appeal
Intrepid Travel has launched a Maui emergency appeal fund and is committed £40,000 through its not-for-profit, The Intrepid Foundation.
It aims to support immediate relief efforts in Hawaii following the wildfires.
The Intrepid Foundation partnered with the American Red Cross to offer relief to affected communities.
This donation will help enable the Red Cross to provide emergency sheltering, food relief and other critical assistance.
The Intrepid Foundation will dollar match donations to the Hawaii Wildfire Appeal up to £40,000, doubling donors’ impact.
Red Cross disaster workers are supporting emergency shelters on the islands of Maui and Oahu.
In addition to safe lodging and food, health, mental health and spiritual care services are being provided.
With 100 deaths and thousands displaced, the wildfires in Hawaii are now considered the worst natural disaster in the state’s history.
It is also the deadliest US wildfire in over a century.
“Intrepid Travel was founded on the idea of using travel as a force for good,” said Matt Berna, Intrepid’s President of the Americas.
“By launching this appeal and matching donations, we aim to support the local communities in Hawaii as they recover and get back on their feet.”
Intrepid Travel runs over 1,000 multi-day small group tours globally, has an extensive customer base in North America and has operated tours in Hawaii.
