Sheraton Maui Gives Back...


This Christmas season, Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa teamed up with Lokahi Pacific, an independent, private non-profit housing and community development organization for the island of Maui. With their assistance, Sheraton Maui selected three families in need of a new beginning. While some families were in need of furniture and toiletries for their family members, others simply desired shoes and clothing for their children.

When our Sales Team asked for support from the hotel, the amount of donations was overwhelming.

Some employees decided to buy items from our local stores, such as toilet paper, toys, clothes, and much more. Others were gracious enough to donate their entire days worth of gratuities from hotel guests. It was amazing to see how many employees donated what they could to help these families in need. With the support of our food and beverage team, the hotel also brought each family a full Christmas dinner. These families could now celebrate the holiday season with a full dinner of turkey, stuffing, salad, mashed potatoes, apple pie and much more!

In the end, Sheraton Maui received almost $5,000 worth of donations for these three families. Mahalo to all who helped make this event a huge success! For more information on Lokahi Pacific, please feel free to visit this website: http://www.lokahipacific.org/
