Helping Maui
Visit a Local Restaurant/Business and Aid Lahaina, Maui Fire Victims

Our club has taken swift action to support the victims of the recent fire tragedy in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Throughout the month of September 2023, the Rotary Club has enlisted the support of Dunwoody's vibrant culinary and retail community to raise funds for those affected by the catastrophic event. There's still 10 days left to go to these businesses and restaurants and support Maui victims.

In a display of unity and compassion, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody has launched a collaborative initiative that reflects the community's shared commitment to extending a helping hand. Participating restaurants are pledging their dedication by contributing a portion of the proceeds from selected menu items. Simultaneously, local retail businesses will prominently feature donation boxes to encourage contributions from patrons.

The following distinguished restaurants have eagerly partnered with the Rotary Club of Dunwoody for this cause - please visit these businesses and support relief for Maui. Let those businesses know you are a Dunwoody Rotarian, and share the story with your friends:
