Donating to Maui Strong

 If you read this blog last week, you heard that I was going to be selling Hawaii themed rocks at the restaurant, to help raise money for fire victims in Maui. 

I sold 24 rocks, and made $245 to contribute to the restaurant’s donation. Altogether, we were able to donate over $1,000! (I didn’t keep any of the money for myself, by the way… originally when I had the idea, my friends at the restaurant wanted me to donate 75%, but it felt wrong to profit off of their tragedy. 

I want to keep helping, although I can’t afford to donate 100% of my profits all the time. However, if anyone uses the discount code HAWAII, when they order a rock, I will donate 50% of the money from that sale to the Maui Strong Fund!

. If you live near Vancouver, WA and would like me to make you a painted rock, visit my website! Use the discount code MAUI to contribute 50% of your purchase to the Maui Strong Fund. (I can ship rocks to other places, but the shipping cost is a lot, because rocks are heavy.)

Rocks For Maui

 On Friday, August 25, 2023, Shorewood Restaurant will be hosting a Hawaiian dance party. There will be a 50/50 cash drawing, and proceeds will be donated to the Maui Strong Fund.  Unlike some larger organizations, the Maui Strong Fund is able to help individual people and families quickly, with things they really need such as food, shelter, transportation, healh care, child care, supplies for people with disabilities, and pet care. 

I've been busy painting some special  rocks for the occasion. I usually give the rocks away for free, with donations welcome. But this time, I'll be selling them for $10 each, and adding the money to Shorewood's donation. 

Please stop by any time after 4:00 on Friday if you'd like one! Even if youre not coming in to eat, you can still stop through and get a rock. I hope we are able to help a lot of people in Maui!
