Homes ripped off their foundations, cemeteries uprooted, schools flooded: this was the toll of Tropical Storm Lala, which nearly made landfall on the southern end of Big Island as a hurricane.

The damage caused an estimated hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across Hawaiʻi, Gov. Josh Green said over the weekend.

Hawaiʻi nonprofits have started to mobilize to serve communities, particularly in the hardest-hit community of Kaʻū, which saw “complete and utter devastation,” as state Rep. Jeanne Kapela has said. Here are a few of the ways you can pitch in to help efforts across the island.
