The power of a Coffee
CafeSmart is all about your local community! Donations collected during the event through cafes, coffee roasters and corporate partners, are pooled together to provide a whole community response to fund vital services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
It is a powerful collaboration that results in meaningful impact on the ground, local to the cafes that are involved.
“This CafeSmart grant will be spent securing backpack beds for those we are unable to accommodate, and helping us continue to support them with Emergency Relief, and case management. Many families are currently staying in emergency accommodation, and will need to vacate over Christmas with no other housing options at this time. Having a backpack bed will allow clients to land somewhere while we spend time working on other areas and barriers to stable housing.” – said one of CafeSmart 2023’s Grant Recipients.
What is CafeSmart?
CafeSmart is StreetSmart’s annual coffee industry led event that unites hundreds of roasters, cafes and coffee lovers around the country to fundraise for their local grassroots homelessness charities.
In 2024, the event will most likely take place from 10th – 16th August (dates are still to be confirmed), and participating venues will cover the country in yellow, raising funds and awareness through what we love the most, coffee!
Over the past 13 years, the event has helped us raise and distribute more than $2 MILLION across 1,100 projects tackling homelessness.
