Headspace Greensborough and Plenty Valley

Good afternoon local community agencies & schools,

We are excited to let you know that for the month of September you can support headspace Greensborough and headspace Plenty Valley by visiting participating Grill'd restaurants!

headspace Greensborough has a Local Matters Jar at Grill'd Bundoora (located at Shop 1/33 Plenty Road, Bundoora VIC 3083) & headspace Plenty Valley has a Local Matters Jar at Grill'd Plenty Valley (located at Westfield Plenty Valley).

How it works:

Every burger purchase equals a vote. You'll get a token to vote with in-restaurant, or when you order online.
Place your vote. At the end of the month the jar with the most tokens receives $300, and the 2nd and 3rd jars are given $100 each.
Your votes and involvement helps Grill'd hand back over $70,000 a month to local communities.

Huge thanks to those who spread the word and can show their support!
