StreetSmart is urging diners to eat out at their local participating restaurants and add a $2 or more voluntary donation to their table’s bill to help raise funds for charities in surrounding areas.
StreetSmart patron, Tim Costello said “StreetSmart empowers people to make a change for the better in their own neighbourhood. We are lucky to be able to enjoy a delicious meal while at the same time, giving back to those who need it most.
"I encourage people to make the choice to dine out at participating restaurants and contribute to the campaign. It’s a simple action that really has big impacts for those on the fringes of our community,” he said.
Some of the nation’s best restaurants participating in the initiative include Coast in Sydney, Ezard in Melbourne, Montrachet in Brisbane, and Mecca Bah in Canberra.
One hundred percent of the money raised helps to fund a diverse range of projects and services including food, shelter, and longer term projects that ultimately assist disadvantaged people to reconnect with their community.
With over 225 participating restaurants this year, 2008 should see an increased impact for people experiencing homelessness. StreetSmart (www.streetsmartaustralia.org) has made it even easier for diners to support the program this year by mapping participating restaurants and previous beneficiaries …So dine out to help out now.
