Help Aid The Waterfront Staff Through Hurricane Recovery!

Working for The Waterfront Restaurant has been such a pleasure for our crew. We are all absolutely heart broken to have witnessed our home away from home, alongside many other businesses, see the devastating wrath of this year’s hurricane season. Leaving 80+ staff member's to rebuild our lives after the storm with no income.

In the serene paradise of Anna Maria Island, our community is known for its warm hospitality and vibrant spirit. But in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, many of our beloved Waterfront staff—those who have dedicated their lives to making your dining experience memorable—are facing an uncertain future.

These hardworking individuals, who have poured their energy, passion and hearts into taking care of locals and visitors alike, have lost their jobs and livelihoods as the storms wreaked havoc on our restaurant and local businesses. Families are struggling to make ends meet and the stress of financial instability weighs heavily on their shoulders.

We want to do everything in our power to help them get back on their feet.

We are coming together to support these resilient staff members as they navigate this challenging time. Your contributions will provide immediate relief for them and their families, helping them cover essential expenses such as rent, groceries and medical bills. With your generosity, we can ensure that our staff has the support they need to rebuild their lives and recover from this devastating setback.

Join us in making a difference. Together, we can help restore hope and rebuild the community spirit that defines Anna Maria Island. Every donation, even the smallest contribution will make a meaningful impact on the lives of the people who make The Waterfront Restaurant the special place it is. Let’s stand by our strong staff and give them the help they deserve, ensuring The Waterfront returns stronger than ever!

Thank you for your support. Together, we can rise from the storm!
