Our Story

Our Story

Founded on faith, sustained by community.

CMOMbegan as a small chaplaincy outreach to Maui's unsheltered neighbors and has grown into a full continuum of housing, respite, and case management services. Every program we run is still rooted in that same original calling: to meet people where they are with compassion, and walk with them toward stability.

Today, a team of chaplains, case managers, and volunteers serve alongside more than 20 community partners across Maui County and the neighbor islands.
