Leading restaurateurs are supporting DineSmart 2019
Hi <<First Name>> 


 

Our thoughts are with communities across the country affected by early season bush fires of horrific magnitude. It's so frustrating that successive Governments have been warned of this looming catastrophe for over 40 years. It's impacts are now with us. Often the people hit hardest are those on the fringes of our society, who lack support, resources or options. It will be the smaller local community organisations that we support who will often be left to do whatever they can to help out people left in crisis.  Resources will be stretched so whatever we can do to raise funds is vital. 

It's always a frantic dash to the end of year finish line during December and at StreetSmart it's no different. The remaining 6 weeks of 2020 will be busy as we launch our 17th annual DineSmart campaign, distribute CafeSmart donations and roll out our Christmas campaign.


Check out news stories and links below about SleepSafe's early success and impact, CafeSmart Fundraising Awards, DineSmart 2019 launch and recent projects supported by StreetFunder supporters.

We may just squeeze in another ENEWS before the year end!



'til next time,

Adam, Geeta and Geoff
SleepSafe - 1500 Sleep Kits Distributed
Linen & towels are a major expense for homeless services, that's why we have teamed up with Sheridan to help. Our SleepSafe initiative launched only 3 months ago but has already raised enough funds for 4500 sleep kits (1500 have already been distributed). Our Christmas appeal will be raising funds to provide SleepSafe Sleep Kits to homeless services across Australia.

StreetFunders Support New Response To Older Womens Homelessness
Each month, our StreetFunder initiative raises awareness and funds around a specific homelessness issue. In Sept we raised $16,549 for Beecroft House helping house 22 older women. This project, over seen by Womens Community Shelters in Sydney, has re-purposed a previous old peoples home while planning permissions are sort for development. (Matched funding was provided by our partners The Sunshine Foundation).
“StreetSmart just delivered 18 Sleep Kits. SleepSafe in an amazing initiative created by Sheridan and StreetSmart to help people experiencing homelessness in shelters and refuges right across Australia. You can’t  overestimate the benefits of fresh linen, towels and a safe bed to sleep in - they'll make a huge difference to the women and kids we work with. Thank you.”
