After the Lahaina fires, a local chef lost his livelihood. We hired him in the skilled trades. He quickly became one of our top performers. Handling complex tasks and meticulous paperwork with ease. So, what's the secret behind his success? Disasters like the Lahaina fires don't just destroy buildings, they shatter lives. BUT they also reveal hidden potential. We've seen cooks, servers, gas station attendants – all LOCAL people – excel in the skilled trades after disaster struck. They're hungry for opportunity, eager to contribute, and deeply invested in their community. They: - Showed up everyday - Earned the necessary certifications - Even outperformed some of the veterans This Lahaina chef is not an exception. He’s proof that our approach works. They’re invested in their community, and that dedication translates to superior performance. Hiring local not only builds stronger, more resilient communities... It's also a smart business decision. The next time disaster strikes, remember: the strongest communities are built from within, by the people who call it home.
