CafeSmart
What is CafeSmart?
DRINK COFFEE DO GOOD - help from the ground up
On 7th June 2013 we will be holding the 3rd Annual CafeSmart event across Australia.
CafeSmart brings together coffee roasters, cafes and coffee drinkers around the country to help people who are homeless. Participating cafes generously donate $1.00 per coffee sold to fund local projects. In 2012 232 Cafes around Australia raised cose to $75,000.
If you are a cafe owner we would love your support. We will encourage our supporters to seek out cafes on the day and its a great way for you to support your local community and connect with your customers. StreetSmart is also teaming up with coffee roasters around Australia who will be supporting cafes through supplying discounted coffee beans on the day. You may even get some help from your milk supplier.
We want our supporters to take a simple action and buy their coffees on the 7th June from participating Cafes and consider matching the $1 from each coffee with their own $1 at the point of purchase, this way we will be able to fund even more projects. "Drink Coffee Do Good" is something we can all do.
“CafeSmart is an up-close-and-meaningful way for cafés and their customers to connect with their local community to help people for whom a latte is a luxury. This initiative is direct and close to home...it has a real impact on people’s lives.” Sarah Wilson, journalist, TV presenter and StreetSmart Ambassador
“Cafes are local community hubs and we are concerned by local issues. StreetSmart tackles homelessness at a local level so we are proud to partner with them.” Salvatore Malatesta, St Ali
