Every single dollar collected is donated directly to support homeless refuges and charities selected based on their need and proximity to participating restaurants.

Last year, diners at 238 restaurants helped to raise over $260,000 plus $100,000 for Bush Fire Survivors. Across Australia, there are almost 240 restaurants participating in 'Dine Out to Help Out' in 2009.
