Lahaina Gateway partnered with The Salvation Army to pass out free meals to 125 families in West Maui on Tuesday.

As part of its 2020 Holiday Giving Initiative, Lahaina Gateway partnered with The Salvation Army to pass out free meals to 125 families in West Maui on Tuesday.

The free meals were provided by Lahaina Gateway restaurants, including Teddy’s Bigger Burgers, Da Shrimp Hale and Moku Roots. Each meal was prepared to feed up to four people.

“This has been a trying year for many in our community and we wanted to create an opportunity to give back and spread some holiday cheer,” said Diana Whitt, general manager at Lahaina Gateway, in a news release Wednesday. “Through our collaboration with The Salvation Army, 125 local families who may be experiencing food insecurity received freshly prepared meals from our restaurants. We couldn’t be more grateful to our restaurant owners who generously contributed to make this happen.”

Teddy’s Bigger Burgers prepared gourmet burgers and tater tots; Da Shrimp Hale cooked up chicken wings, rice and corn; and Moku Roots cooked taro burgers and burritos.

Staff from Lahaina Gateway along with volunteers from The Salvation Army’s Lahaina Lighthouse Corps were on hand to deliver the meals with smiling faces.
