HONOLULU, HAWAII (August 17, 2023) – Aloha Petroleum (Aloha) today announced, in partnership with its parent companies Sunoco LP and Energy Transfer, it will donate $100,000 in support of Maui relief and recovery efforts. Additionally, Aloha has launched an in-store fundraising initiative providing customers an opportunity to show their aloha for the community by donating to Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund.

·       $25,000 to Maui Food Bank to provide food to those displaced by the fires and 
·       $25,000 to Maui Economic Opportunity Inc. to provide support for individuals and families affected by securing transitional housing. 
 
Aloha’s parent companies, Sunoco LP and Energy Transfer, have also donated $50,000 through their foundation as follows:
