Schmucker's Restaurant Employee Support Event

Join the Reynolds Corners Rotary Club for a special fundraising luncheon in support of our neighbors at Schmucker's Restaurant, a long-time, local staple that has been serving Toledo since 1948.
On August 22, 2025, Schmucker's Restaurant in west Toledo experienced an accidental hood fire that has forced them to close for the foreseeable future. While we are thankful that no one was injured in the incident, the restaurant staff now face uncertainty as they wait for repairs to be completed.
Our "Good Neighbors for Schmuckers" fundraising luncheon aims to raise $2,500 to provide financial assistance to the employees during this difficult time. Your generous contribution will directly support the staff who have served countless meals and slices of their famous homemade pies to our community over the years—including our own Rotary Club, which eagerly awaits the return of our weekly Tuesday pie desserts straight from Schmuckers!
