Coles shoppers and team members across Braybrook and Altona Meadows have dug deep to support children’s hospitals across the country.
The stores together raised more than $8000 towards the Coles Curing Homesickness appeal, with more than $211,000 raised across the state to help the Monash Children’s Hospital expand its Hospital at Home and program, which provides in-home and community-based nursing services for infants and children with complex and ongoing medical needs.
Curing Homesickness general manager Nicky Bowie said they were blown away with the support of its stores and its customers.
“Curing Homesickness and our hospital partners are incredibly grateful and thankful for the support shown and given by Coles and its customers over the past two weeks,” she said.
“We know that every cent raised will have a significant impact in communities right across Australia
Coles Group corporate general manager Sally Fielke said she was particularly proud of Coles team members who embraced the cause by visiting hospitals, donating toys and baking their own cakes for cake stalls.
“The success of this year’s Coles Curing Homesickness appeal is just one example of how our customers and team members across Australia are continuing to take community fundraising and engagement to the next level,” she said.
