Helping Maui
RCD Mobilizes Local Businesses to Aid Lahaina, Maui Fire Victims

Throughout the upcoming month of September 2023, the Rotary Club has enlisted the support of Dunwoody's vibrant culinary and retail community to raise funds for those affected by the catastrophic event.

In a display of unity and compassion, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody has launched a collaborative initiative that reflects the community's shared commitment to extending a helping hand. Participating restaurants are pledging their dedication by contributing a portion of the proceeds from selected menu items. Simultaneously, local retail businesses will prominently feature donation boxes to encourage contributions from patrons. Read on for a list of restaurants and businesses - and share this information with your family and friends so that we can provide strong support for Maui.  [read more]
