CafeSmart

What is CafeSmart?

HELP FROM THE GROUND UP

On FRIDAY AUGUST 10th 2012 CafeSmart will bring together coffee roasters, cafes and coffee drinkers around the country to help people who are homeless.  Participating cafes will generously donate $1.00 per coffee sold to fund local projects. 

In 2011 175 cafes across Australia raised $47,477 in one day to assist 38 local projects.

We want our supporters to take a simple action and buy their coffees on the 10th at participating Cafes and consider making an extra donation online.  "Grab a coffee and help the homeless" is something we can all do.

StreetSmart is also teaming up with coffee roasters around Australia who will be supporting cafes through supplying discounted coffee beans on the day. 

 “CafeSmart will be 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 will have 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

StreetSmart calls on Cafes to unite and be a part of CafeSmart 2012
