Oprah Winfrey, Connie Britton urge support for Maui

Other celebrities have been vocal about the fires as well.

The BBC filmed Oprah Winfrey handing out supplies at the war memorial stadium earlier this week. “I came earlier, just to see what people needed, and then went shopping because often you make donations of clothes or whatever, and it’s not really what people need,” Winfrey said. “So I actually went to Walmart and Costco and got pillows, shampoo, diapers, sheets, pillowcases.” People magazine noted Winfrey is a part-time Maui resident.
