There is not much in life that compares to a few drinks over a home cooked meal with good company.

But Eat for Equity manages to go one step further in the warm and fuzzy stakes by providing an opportunity to contribute to local and global grassroots non-profits (whilst also stuffing your face). The idea is pretty damn simple: turn up and give what you can afford, then relax and enjoy an evening of food and good times.

It’s this honest attitude that has seen the initiative break down barriers for everyday people to contribute within their means on a regular basis. So far $34,000 has been donated, we’ll raise our forks to that.
