And once again all you have to do is order a 'burger and drink combo' from Five Barrel Brewing on Keira Street this Thursday night.
SCARF CEO Pippa Rendell said $10 from every meal sold would be donated to the local not-for-profit organisation which helps people from refugee backgrounds who have settled in the Illawarra.
The February 20 chilled summer session follows on from last year's fundraiser that saw more than $1500 donated to SCARF.
The money assists SCARF to coordinate and run everything from a driver mentor program, homework clubs, to friendship outreach events for more than 1900 registered members.
The event also coincides with the 2020 Year of Welcome, an initiative by the Refugee Council of Australia aiming to give ordinary citizens a way to encourage community spirit.
Five Barrel Brewing said "doing good" is its motivation for throwing open the doors (and profits) to worthy community groups.
Close to 100 people attended the last SCARF-brewery collaboration and organisers are hopeful of surpassing that figure and the total raised, this time around.
Ms Rendel said the partnership helped to strengthen the organisation's connections with the wider Illawarra community and applauded Five Barrel Brewing's commitment to building grassroots connections with local charities.
"The Illawarra community knows its strength lies within volunteer organisations," she said.
"This enjoyable and laid back fundraiser makes it really easy to support a local charity and support local business at the same time."
The event starts from 6pm.
