Support Needed to Sustain Our Mission

Even with the rain in Haiku, the first-ever Maui Animal Resource Meet-Up (MARMU) was a resounding success. Hosted at the beautiful Kitty Charm Farm, the event brought together representatives from some of Maui’s most important animal welfare organizations, including The Boo Boo Zoo, Maui Humane Society, Valley Isle Animal Rescue, Lana'i Cat Sanctuary, and even newer organizations like Aloha Furever Pets.

For many, it was the first time meeting face-to-face after years of collaborating through referrals and shared clients. The connections made that day were powerful and long overdue.

EACH’s mission is to provide resources for low-income households of Maui to care for their beloved pets. While some of these resources are direct financial assistance, others come from community partnerships and education. MARMU embodied that mission by strengthening relationships among those who serve Maui’s animals every day.

The conversations were full of energy, inspiration, and shared purpose. Attendees discussed new ways to collaborate, improve referral systems, and even organize quarterly mini meet-ups to keep the momentum going.

The response was clear: MARMU must become an annual event. EACH is thrilled to make that a reality and continue fostering this spirit of unity and cooperation across the island.

If you would like to contribute, or if you know of a venue or organization interested in sponsoring or supporting future MARMU gatherings, please reach out to us. Together, we can accomplish so much more for Maui’s animals and the people who love them.
