Ice Cube Seafood Grill participated in ‘Dine Out to Help Out’ StreetSmart’s 2009 event from 9th November to 24th December And raised a total of $3714.00
StreetSmart Australia was established in 2003 to support and strengthen smaller, grassroots community organisations helping the homeless, frustrated by the lack of action and support from Government. These smaller organisations are critical in helping many people in crisis. StreetSmart helps out by raising funds and delivering financial grants, raising community awareness of the issues of homelessness and assisting these organisations to connect across their communities.
StreetSmart is seen as a unique bridge between those that want to help people experiencing homelessness and the grassroots agencies that are changing lives. They believe in the support of emergency aid and critical services, and development of projects and programs that encourage social inclusion, empowerment and sustainable change for people experiencing homelessness.
When money is raised from the public through their fundraising events, 100 per cent of your donations are distributed in the form of grants. To date they have raised $830,000, supporting 191 grassroots projects.
They currently operate in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, SA and ACT.
Donations can be made at any time on the StreetSmart website http://www.streetsmartaustralia.org/getinvolved
