Hopes, Scoops and Hoops
An asylum seeker fundraiser with coffee, beer, gelato and basketball.
Overview
A collection of local businesses are joining forces this Friday night to raise money for people who find themselves in Melbourne looking for a better life. Hosted by Long Street Coffee, Hopes, Scoops and Hoops will see the Richmond cafe work with the folks from Market Lane Coffee, Mountain Goat Beer and Pidapipo Gelateria, for a fundraiser benefiting the West Welcome Wagon, a volunteer-run charity that provides material aid to asylum seekers living in Melbourne's west.
The Market Lane team will be running a special Rwandan coffee education session, while Pidapipo will bring the gelato and Mountain Goat the beer. The food, meanwhile, will come courtesy of the Long Street kitchen, who'll also provide the laneway basketball ring where you can shoot hoops until dark. Not a bad deal for $25 — especially when you consider the fact that it's going to such a great cause.
