Lahaina Grill owners also ran a hotel, but both businesses are gone. From everyone I ever spoke from there, it seemed that this was a great place to work I personally know Jurg from our visits. I can’t recall any “fancy” restaurant where someone would let my 5 year old “make her own desert”. This fund is NOT for the owners.
This is explicitly for the Employees and their families. From my understanding, at least 40 of them are left without a home.
From the GoFundMe:
“So many of you have reached out in search of the best way to help. Our staff is our first priority therefore, all donations made will be distributed DIRECTLY to our staff who are houseless and need basic life necessities and relocation. 40+ employees at Lahaina Grill have lost everything.”
