Donations for Fleetwood's on Front St. 'Ohana

Maui and the Lahaina community were forever and tragically changed by the August 8th wildfires which destroyed our historic town. We, like so many of you, are heartbroken. While buildings like ours at Fleetwood’s on Front St. were lost, it is the impact on our people who have lost their homes, livelihoods, and community that leads us to reach out to you now.

Our main priority over the past few days has been to ensure the safety of our amazing staff and team members. Sadly, not all of our staff has been accounted for and we are desperately searching for 2 members of our Ohana. As well, the sad reality is that many have lost their homes and possessions. We deeply mourn for this incredible community that has sustained us since our doors first opened in 2012. The magnitude of loss is truly catastrophic. And we are particularly heartbroken for those that called Fleetwood’s their home away from home.

It is for this reason we are starting this campaign solely to provide the help our 'Ohana needs and deserves. 100% of the donations will go directly to our 130 employees and team members. The funds raised will help them as they work to piece together and rebuild their lives.

Our goal through the years has been to make our guests feel at home in our restaurant; making memories was our specialty. Our 'Ohana were the ones that made that happen. Their happiness and hospitality impacted how so many felt in our restaurant through the years. And it is them that really need help now. We sincerely appreciate any contribution that you can make to this fund. Your support means the world. To all of us. #lahainastrong

We believe in 'Ohana and in practicing Aloha. Thank you for being part of our extended family. And thank you for doing what you can to help in this effort.

Mahalo for your continued thoughts and prayers,

Ashley Leal, General Manager of Fleetwood's on Front St.
