JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A week after a devastating wildfire demolished the historic town of Lahaina, killing more than 100 people, recovery efforts in Maui are ongoing.
Here's how you can help from home.
The Red Cross

The Red Cross has also opened a shelter on Oahu for displaced tourists and Maui residents.
These shelters provide evacuees a safe place to stay, food and emotional support. The Red Cross will also aid in disaster relief once it is safe to do so.
