WEST, Texas — With wildfires still raging in parts of Maui, the Permian Basin Red Cross is joining chapters across the nation in sending aid.
Lending a helping hand is as simple as donating a few bucks to the Red Cross to fund their relief efforts.
Thousands of people are in need of help, but Red Cross officials said that any contribution helps.
"So the people of West Texas can support the people of Hawaii by making a donation. A financial donation is the best way to aid the people in Hawaii," a Permian Basin Red Cross official said. "Because the money is immediately available and we can then use those funds to get people the shelter, food and other necessities they need right now."
You can text "Hawaii" to 90999 to make a $10 donation to the Red Cross, or go to redcross.com/donate to make a donation of any size.
