In the face of the devastating Maui fires, our hearts are with the community and all those affected. Solidarity and support are now paramount. Rest assured, VCA and VCA Charities are actively involved in assessing the immediate needs of the local shelter community.

Our Oahu teams are already in motion, rallying to aid Maui Veterinary Hospitals and assist distressed pets amidst the ongoing fire and disaster situation. Reflecting the spirit of Hawaii and VCA, we are united by a shared drive to create a positive impact.

Here's how you can help through VCA Charities'
disaster response efforts:

1. Donate at Curbside: Drop by any of our hospitals and contribute in
person to VCA Charities. Your direct support will make a meaningful
difference.
2. Donate over the Phone: Simply call your nearest VCA hospital to
make a donation. Our team will guide you through the process,
ensuring your contribution reaches those in need.
3. In-Hospital Donations: Visit any VCA hospital and make your
donation at the front desk. Every contribution, no matter the size, will
be invaluable.

Throughout August, donations to VCA Charities via VCA's Oahu hospitals will exclusively aid Maui's disaster response. Your generosity will directly affect the lives of pets and people impacted.

At VCA, we stand together in times of crisis, embodying our commitment to care and compassion. Your support reaffirms this commitment and strengthens our ability to make a tangible difference.

Thank you for joining us in providing solace and aid where it's most needed.
