Lahaina Galleries Employees and Artists

On August 8, 2023, our beloved and historic Lahaina town was devastated by wildfires. Several of our employees and artists have either lost their homes or have been displaced due to this tragedy. While we are fortunate to report that our gallery in Wailea is still open; our Ohana has experienced life-changing losses.

As a company, we will rebuild, however, we honestly have no idea what the next few months or years will look like for the local economy in Maui. We are humbled by the outpouring of support from our many families, friends, and clients who have recently asked how they can help - in response we have set up this page. 100% of the funds collected will be distributed to employees and artists based on their needs, to help them with necessities in the interim as they rebuild their homes and their lives, which could take years.

The Lahaina Galleries Ohana is loving, strong and resilient. If you want to directly support our employees affected by the recent fires, please consider a donation to this campaign. Mahalo for your thoughts, prayers and continued support.

Note: Update for fraud prevention (required by GoFundMe) - the organizer, Ann Bourdages, is the COO of Lahaina Galleries. The recipients of the funds are employees of Lahaina Galleries and represented artists who have lost their homes due to the fires. GoFundMe does not allow multiple recipients to receive funds, therefore funds are being withdrawn and remitted to the recipients via a personal account. The funds will be utilized by the recipients to purchase for immediate needs like clothing, food, and rent. We already began distributing to the families yesterday. They are so thankful for your gifts and this allows them to breath a bit easier through these troubled times.
