Bushfire Appeal.
As everyone is aware, Australia has been hit with the worst fires in the last few decades.
......................
With the fires spanning more than 12 million acres, more than 1200 homes have been lost along with almost 500 million native wildlife.
......................
In these difficult times as the fires rage on we are asking our amazing community to help us contribute to the reparation of the damage caused by these fires.
Vaporetto has set up a dedicated fundraising program involving all our loyal staff and customers starting Monday 6th January, and we will be running this through till the end of the month.
......................
We are raising funds by requesting an optional donation of $2 from every table who dines with us over the coming month.

100% of funds raised will go directly to ‘St Vincent de Paul’s Bushfire appeal
The St Vincent De Paul Society is running a bushfire appeal to help those affected rebuild their lives with food, clothing, furniture, other essentials, and funds to pay bills.
Exactly where your money could go:
• $50 “can provide food for a family who have been evacuated from their home.”
• $150 “can help with bills and unexpected expenses for a household recovering from a bushfire.”
• $300 “can provide clothing for a family who’ve had to leave their belongings behind.”
• $1,100 “can help those whose homes have been damaged or destroyed to set up again with bedding, furniture and appliances.

We have also received a wonderful gesture of generosity from our friends Bruno and Luca Over the Festive period we were raising funds for our friends Bruno and Luca at ‘Osteria alle Testiere’ who have insisted that the money raised over the last month for the floods go towards a bushfire appeal in Australia.
......................
With that in mind we will still be sending half of the money to Venice, with the other half going to the Bushfire Appeal along with all of the donations we raise over the next month.
......................
We hope to raise thousands to help those who have been terribly affected by these devastating events!
