Local social-services nonprofit J. Walter Cameron Center announced on Tuesday the receipt of a $10,000 grant from the Wailuku Federal Credit Union and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, as part of a nationwide grant-matching fund program.
Since the inception of the Laptop Relief Program, there has been an overwhelming response of nearly 1,000 applications from displaced Maui residents seeking replacement devices.
Organization leaders say the grant will play a pivotal role in fortifying connections within the Native Hawaiian community and aligns with OHA’s commitment to strategic directions that include quality housing, educational pathways, economic stability and health outcomes.
The J. Walter Cameron Center celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of service to the Maui community. Since its establishment in 1973, the Cameron Center has been a catalyst for change, amplifying, incubating and supporting social services throughout Maui County.
