When you come to Maui and rent with us at Kihei Rent A Car, we hope your trip is unforgettable—and rewarding. One way to connect more deeply to the ʻāina (land) and ʻohana (community) here is by volunteering. Whether it’s restoring native forests, caring for marine life, helping those displaced, or supporting local food banks, your time and hands make a difference.

Here are a few trusted ways you can help:

HandsOn Maui offers many short-term volunteer positions helping nonprofits around the island. https://handsonmaui.galaxydigital.com/

Pacific Whale Foundation has marine conservation projects: beach clean-ups, debris monitoring, adopt-a-beach, and outreach efforts. https://pacificwhale.org/how-you-can-help/volunteer-opportunities/

Maui Food Bank welcomes help sorting and distributing food, especially major assistance during crisis relief. https://mauifoodbank.org/volunteer-opportunities/

Habitat for Humanity Maui and other groups coordinate home rebuilding and support for fire-impacted communities. https://www.mauinuistrong.info/resource-categories/donate-services

Volunteering isn’t only “giving back”—it enriches your experience. You’ll meet locals, learn stories of culture and resilience, and leave with memories different from a typical tourist track.
