Waiola Church

Waiola Church is a non-profit religious organization located in Lahaina, Hawaii, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with a current registration valid through June 30, 2026. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, the church appears to be actively engaged in community support and recovery efforts, particularly in the context of disaster response and rebuilding. The organization is situated in a historic location on Waine'e Street, which has likely been impacted by recent natural disasters in the Lahaina area.

Based on the federal grant sub-award records, Waiola Church has been receiving targeted support for management costs and infrastructure restoration, primarily through the Hawaii Department of Defense. The grant awards, dated January 7 and January 30, 2025, indicate specific funding for management costs, building reconstruction, and equipment replacement. The sub-awards suggest the church is receiving support for rebuilding its annex, social hall, contents, and parking lot, with a specific focus on recovery and restoration efforts. These grants appear to be part of a broader disaster recovery program, likely related to the devastating wildfires that impacted Lahaina in 2023. The federal grant sub-awards demonstrate the church's role in community reconstruction and its ability to work collaboratively with state-level emergency management agencies to support local rebuilding initiatives.
