MELBOURNE | DineSmart is back for 2017, and this year you can dine in or out at some of your favourite restaurants and cafes to help StreetSmart tackle homelessness. Now in it’s 15th year, DineSmart has recruited industry leaders, new restaurants, new sponsors and ambassadors on board for what CEO Adam Robinson and the StreetSmart team expect will be one of their biggest years yet.
The 2017 campaign will run from November 24 to December 24, and introduces a new fundraising model – a simple $1 donation per person, with the aim of reaching a target $250,000 for homelessness projects, adding to the $4.5 million raised to date. 100% of all donations raised through the campaign go to fund grassroots homeless services in the neighbourhood, suburb or region where the funds are raised.
Joining the DineSmart campaign for the first time as a key sponsor Uber Eats will donate $10 for each new customer who signs up using the DINESMART17 promo code. The partnership with the popular home delivery service expands the campaign’s reach and allows diners to choose whether to dine in or dine out to help out. Online restaurant reservation service OpenTable has also joined as a sponsor for this year’s campaign and will donate $1 (up to $10,000) for every honoured reservation made through their platform at participating restaurants in VIC, NSW, QLD and SA.
Some of the restaurants involved with DineSmart this year include BKK, Fitzroy Town Hall Hotel, Hotel Jesus, Marion, Meat Maiden, Merchant Osteria Veneta, San Telmo, Tipo OO, Café Sydney, Chin Chin, Ezard, Longrain, Punch Lane, Ladro, Top Paddock and Stalactites To find all the restaurants involved check out the DineSmart Google Map.
