Quilt Donations for Those Impacted by the Maui Fire
The Maui Quilt Shop is trying to do its part to assist the victims by collecting finished quilts to donate to those who have been impacted by the big Maui Fire.

Many thousands of people are displaced without any possessions or a place to stay. Learn more about how you can donate to this worthy cause.
