The Maui Police Department continues to expand its compassionate outreach with the MMEU (Mobile Medical Educational Unit) Program, a mobile initiative dedicated to assisting Maui’s homeless community by bringing essential services directly to them.

Every Monday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., the MMEU bus parks at Kalama Park in Kihei, providing free access to a wide range of health and wellness resources.

The program offers:

• Food stamp assistance
• Non-critical wound care
• Health check-ups
• Mental health counseling
• Wellness assessments
• Financial services guidance
• Animal care and check-ups

This outreach effort is made possible through the CORE (Critical Outreach & Response through Education) team, located at 55 Mahalani Street in Wailuku. Their mission focuses on connecting Maui’s vulnerable populations with healthcare, education, and social support.

The MMEU Program works closely with a strong network of community partners, including:

• A Cup of Cold Water
• Aloha House
• Department of Education’s Homeless Outreach for Unsheltered Youth
• Goodwill Hawaii
• Maui AIDS Foundation
• Maui Humane Society
• Private practitioners

Together, these organizations form a caring coalition dedicated to restoring dignity and stability for Maui’s houseless residents.

For more information about the program or to connect with CORE, contact them at (808) 270-6555 or email CORE@mpd.net.

Mahalo to the Maui Police Department and its community partners for their ongoing commitment to compassion, service, and outreach across the island.
