The veterans organization urged people to call 808-463-5830 or 808-446-5295 to connect with a veteran service officer or come to VFW Post 3830 in Kihei, where they can pick up donated items, consult with a VSO, fill out forms to replace lost records such as DD Form 214s, and other services.

According to the VFW, transportation to the post is available to those who need it. A veteran does not need to be a VFW member to receive assistance. Post 3830 is located at 1136 Uluniu Road and is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.
