Maui Police Department’s MMEU Program Brings Vital Services to Kihei’s Homeless Community
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.

Hanauma Bay’s Big Change: New Shuttle System and Booking Rules Start November 1
Big changes are coming to Hanauma Bay starting November 1, as the City of Honolulu launches a new partnership with Roberts Hawaii aimed at reducing congestion and improving the visitor experience. Up to 400 of the 1,400 daily visitor spots will now be tied to Roberts Hawaii’s all-electric shuttle packages from Waikiki and Ala Moana, allowing bookings up to 60 days in advance—while the city’s own reservations will still open just 48 hours ahead and sell out fast. The new system includes transportation, guaranteed admission, and the required safety video shown en route, offering convenience but sparking debate among locals over access and commercialization. Resident entry remains free, and conservation efforts continue to be the bay’s top priority. Source: Beat of Hawaii
Reminder: Turn Your Clocks Back
Many think of the fall season to fall back and spring forward in the spring! Hawaii does not “fall back” for the time change because it does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) at all and remains on Hawaii Standard Time (HST) year-round.
