Coles has launched a new national campaign to help fund paediatric care, equipment and projects.
Now until 18 February, 50¢ from the sales of more than 150 products sold at Coles will be donated to national children’s charity, Hospitals United for Sick Kids to help support a range of programs facilitated by:
- Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation
- John Hunter Children’s Hospital
- The Common Good (an initiative of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation)
- Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation
- Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation
- Canberra Hospital Foundation
- Monash Children’s Hospital
- The Royal Hobart Hospital
Customers can also make a donation or purchase a $2 donation card in-store at any Coles supermarket.
Coles Group Corporate & Indigenous Affairs Officer Sally Fielke encourages customers to support the cause by adding a participating product or donation card to their shopping basket.
“Supporting sick children and their families is something Coles and our team members are passionate about and we’re incredibly proud to have raised more than $9 million for Hospitals United for Sick Kids since 2019,” she says.
“We’re delighted to work with our valued suppliers to help make supporting this important cause easier than ever for our customers, with a 50¢ donation to Hospitals United for Sick Kids on more than 150 products sold at Coles over the next two weeks.”
Hospitals United for Sick Kids CEO Nicky Bowie says funds raised will help reduce the impact being in hospital can have on sick kids and their families.
“At Hospitals United for Sick Kids, we help sick kids get home to the things they miss. Funds raised will help support vital projects, therapies, and equipment for our state-based partners, ensuring the best care for kids in hospital or at home,” she says.
“A big thank you to Coles, its team, customers, and brands like Kellogg’s, Arnott’s, Swisse, and Grinders for creating the Basket of Good with us filled with over 150 products that give back. Over the next few weeks, you can help support sick kids and their families by making simple changes to your daily shopping.”
