MODO For The People
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
Founded on the belief that everyone should have access to competent medical care, regardless of income, MODO For The People, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was established on April 22, 2022, with a dedicated mission: to bring free or low-cost medical care to the underserved population on Maui. Rooted in this vision, our initiative “MODO Mondays – Medicine to the People” was conceived. Our mobile urgent care units venture into underserved neighborhoods, offering quality medical aid and prescription medications at no cost, in an attempt to alleviate the strain on our healthcare infrastructure.
With the recent Lahaina wildfires causing devastation across Maui, our Disaster Relief Medical Team, consisting of board-certified physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and passionate volunteers, has been activated. MODO For The People has stepped forward by extending no-cost medical aid to everyone impacted by this catastrophe.
- MODO For The People and MODO MD are two distinct entities with separate financial operations.
- Thus far, all medical supplies, medical personnel, and medical units provided for this disaster relief have been generously contributed by MODO MD.
- Every dollar raised through this organization goes directly to relief efforts and is not for profit. We are committed to absolute transparency.
Our Current Relief Operations

- Supply Distribution: From water and food to clothing and essentials, our commitment is to ensure families get back on their feet.
Your contribution will help to facilitate and carry out the mission of MODO For The People, disaster relief, and provide care and comfort to those in need.
