Efforts to help the Big Island will be bolstered by a $20,000 donation to Hope Services Hawaii from the Hawaii Medical Service Association.
HMSA President and CEO Michael Stollar announced the contribution June 14 during his visit to the island. Hope Services is a nonprofit in Hilo that HMSA is partnering with to provide shelter and housing assistance to people whose homes were destroyed by lava.
“Our hearts go out to the families who’ve been affected by the eruptions,” Stollar said. “We’re grateful that we can support the community during this stressful time.”
HMSA has an office in Keaau and a retail center in the Waiakea Shopping Center. In total, there are more than 130 HMSA employees who live on Hawaii Island.
Headquartered on Oahu with centers and offices statewide to serve its members, HMSA is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.
