Dine out for drought relief in Australia

Australian restaurant group does its bit for drought relief in the country, and you can help too.

Rockpool Dining Group’s Bavarian restaurants are digging deep to assist drought-affected farmers and will donate all profits from 16 venues in New South Wales and Queensland on Sunday, 26 August to support drought relief.

The restaurants in the drought-affected states of New South Wales and Queensland will host Raise A Fork For Our Farmers drought relief fundraisers on the last Sunday in August. All profits made from the day’s trade will be donated to Aussie Helpers, which supports Australian farming families in need of assistance.

The Raise A Fork For Our Farmers campaign is part of a broader commitment by Rockpool Dining Group to support farmers struggling to cope with devastating drought conditions, with more fundraising to follow.

Australian farmers are at the frontline of record dry conditions that have plunged the entire state of NSW and over 50 percent of Queensland into drought.

Raise A Fork For Our Farmers drought relief fundraisers will be held at the following locations:

New South Wales

  • The Bavarian Beerhaüs: York Street, Sydney
  • The Bavarian: Bondi Beach, Castle Hill, Chatswood, Entertainment Quarter, Manly, Miranda, Parramatta, Penrith, Rouse Hill and World Square

Queensland

  • The Bavarian Beerhaüs: Bowen Hills, Brisbane
  • The Bavarian: Broadbeach, Chermside, Eagle Street Pier and Toowoomba

Diners are encouraged to bring friends and families along to a participating restaurant for lunch, dinner or simply a drink on Sunday, 26 August, safe in the knowledge that their customers will help farmers in need.

Rockpool Dining Group Chief Executive Officer Thomas Pash says that the group owed much to the farming community and the Raise A Fork For Our Farmers campaign was the Group’s first step in drought assistance.

“Agriculture is the backbone of Australia and the hospitality industry. Farmers are our producers, suppliers, friends and peers and we want to support them and give back to our rural communities in a substantial and meaningful way,” Pash says.
