Melbourne Food and Wine Festival
The annual festival is drawing
attention to restaurants and cafés
with donation efforts using the
hashtag #restaurantsforrelief, and
also supports the 10 for 10 campaign,
where you can generously give
$10,000 in order to have Guy Grossi,
Frank Camorra, Shannon Martinez
or Mitch Orr come to your house
to cook for 10 people.
Good Pair Days The Adelaide Hills
wine region has been devastated
with one-third of the region’s
vineyards burnt, resulting in long-
term damage to the vines and soil.
Along with visiting the Hills, you
can support the wineries by grabbing
Good Pair Days’ special BushfireSupport Wine Box, with all profits
from the packs to be donated to
the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal.

Empty Esky Bushfire Recovery
This movement is drumming up
support for local businesses in
fire-impacted areas by encouraging
holidaymakers to plan road trips
to the regions (once it’s safe) and
fill their Eskies with local produce.
Hit the road with @emptyesky.The generous support for those affected by
the bushfire crisis has permeated the hospitality
and tourism industries, from dinners spearheaded
by the likes of Duncan Welgemoed of Africola
and Jacqui Challinor of Nomad, to company-wide
donations from Merivale and Rockpool, along
with an outpouring of heartfelt contributions from
small businesses across the country.
