【Support Maui】Donated the amount of $40,224 to the Maui Food Bank
Nov 22, 2023
We donated the amount of $40,224, which was raised from everyone during Maui Support Week, to the Maui Food Bank. We visited the Maui Food Bank at the end of October and explained what we did during Support Maui Zetton’s donation week. Additionally, we also learned about the current support for the Lahaina Fire.
We heard that people struggled at the beginning because, despite having enough food from the Food Bank, they could not cook since there were no kitchen facilities at all due to the fire. Currently, they are providing support to hotels and have become three times busier than before the Lahaina Fire.
They provide not only food but also supply items. One of the support programs is ‘BackPack Buddies’ for Maui Kids.
We believe that this donation, even if only a little, will contribute to the recovery of Maui.
Once again, thank you all for joining us for our SUPPORT MAUI WEEK!!
We would like to report on the donations collected for disaster relief efforts conducted thus far. We express our heartfelt gratitude for your warm support and cooperation. As we previously reported, we made a donation to the Maui Food Bank last October. We delivered a donation from Zetton Japan this time. ■Detail about the donation from Zetton Japan Implementation period: September 1, 2023 to November 30, 2023 Total amount donated: $46,600 * Zetton Japan: $20,000 * LocoMoco sales: $20,000 (5% of sales over 3 months) * Customer donations: $6,600 When we made a donation to the Maui Food Bank, we also heard about the local volunteer organization "Napili Noho". While the island of Maui saw a drastic decrease in tourists due to the impact of the fire, it has now recovered to about 80% of normal, and tourist areas are bustling with many people. It has been over six months since the August 2023 fire, but it is expected to take time for Lahaina to recover, and it was mentioned that much support is still needed. We believe that this donation can contribute, even if just a little, to the recovery of Maui Island.
