Aloha and welcome to VASH Hawai`i Island, the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawai`i on Hawai`i Island.

Our Mission is to share the aloha spirit with visitors affected by adversity.

We recognize that even during the fun and relaxation of vacations, unfortunate events can happen. And when far from home, visitors do not usually have access to their own support systems and resources.

VASH assistance is designed to help visitors cope with and recover from a variety of unfortunate situations such as crime victimization, the loss of a purse or wallet, medical situations, or the death of a loved one. When we receive referrals from the Hawai`i County Police Department, local area hospitals, airport security and others in the visitor industry, we assess each visitor’s situation and needs on a case by case basis to offer appropriate supportive services.

Our Vision is that every visitor touched by adversity will also be touched by the aloha spirit. Our hope is that the stories our visitors tell upon returning home are all about the care and love they received – the aloha – rather than being about the unfortunate incident.
