My Nonprofit Reviews

If I could give AFA 1000 stars I would. I cannot praise them enough for the wonderful work they do. When the wildfires broke out in Maui in August 2023, AFAs disaster relief team contacted our club (the Hawaiian Feathered Friends Network) to find out if anyone needed assistance. This was right from the start, when the shelters were first being set up. AFA was offering help to our people.

Every time we have had some sort of disaster (volcanic eruption, hurricane, big windstorm, you name it), AFA has reached out to our club to offer assistance to any bird owners who needed help. They didn't have to be AFA members. They didn't have to be donors. If they were in need, they got what they needed.

The birds that were displaced by the Maui Wildfires needed cages, food, toys, and a place to live. We provided the "boots on the ground" to find people who needed assistance, and AFA worked hard to secure those donations. We are very grateful for what they have done to help the birds on Maui. No one else was helping the birds. Maui Humane Society wasn't helping them. We tried to contact the Maui Humane Society many times, and we had other organizations try to contact them about helping the birds that were saved from the fires and we got nothing. AFA was the only one that offered help.

This is a photo of when our board flew to Maui to assemble cages, and deliver toys, and perches to the displaced birds. Every few weeks, AFA has been sending food and toys to Maui to help the birds.

AFA is a wonderful organization and most people do not realize all the good work they do behind the scenes. They work to preserve our right to own birds and keep birds, by fighting onerous legislation at the Federal, State, and County level. They are there to help birds when disaster strikes. They are there to disseminate useful information about the proper care of birds.

I appreciate AFA and all that they do.
