KAHULUI, HI – October 18, 2023 – On Friday, October 20th, the Maui Relief Concert will be held at the picturesque Solvang Festival Theater in Solvang, CA to raise funds for those affected by the recent wildfire disaster on Maui. Doors open at 5:00 PM with dinner, snacks, wine, and beer available for purchase, and the concert will begin at 6:00 PM and end at 9:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased online at mauirescuemission.org/oct-20th-benefit-concert and will be available for purchase at the door. All proceeds will benefit the Maui Rescue Mission, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to serving the unhoused community on Maui since 2015 offering showers, laundry, hygiene items, on-site medical care, and a support system of compassionate staff and volunteers via a mobile resource center.
Brian Nelson, the Co-Founder of Maui Rescue Mission and a local Santa Ynez resident, who has previously served with the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, emphasizes the significance of the support raised from this concert: “The aftermath of the Maui wildfires has left over 7,000 individuals newly homeless and struggling for basic necessities and shelter. This evening promises to offer more than just great music; it will serve as a beacon of hope, providing immediate relief to Maui’s community by bolstering Maui Rescue Mission’s dedicated efforts to assist both the previously unhoused and the newly homeless communities across Maui with both short-term relief and long-term resources.”
