Woolworths And Variety Launch Kids Easter Fundraising Appeal

March 26, 2021 by Maggi Barnard

GOOD CAUSE: Woolworths and Variety have teamed up to raise vital funds for kids in need.

Woolworths customers can help support the mobility and medical equipment needs of children and families across NSW and ACT with the launch of the Easter Fundraising Appeal in support of Variety – The Children’s Charity.

Customers at Woolworths Forbes and across NSW can support the Easter Fundraising Appeal by simply adding a $2 Easter egg-shaped token to their shop or rounding up their purchase to the nearest dollar when they spend over $30 at the self-service check-out.

The appeal is running in stores and online until April 6, 2021.

Woolworths Store Manager Noel Reardon said: “We’re proud of our long term support for Variety and are always amazed by how Forbes Shire customers continue to give generously with each appeal.

“Many families across NSW have had a tough twelve months, but what we continue to see is that Australians band together to support one another in times of need.

“The Easter Fundraising Appeal is a great example of how a little bit of good can go a long way for children and families across NSW and ACT, helping them get the vital equipment and support they need.”

One hundred percent of funds raised will help Variety to support children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

Acting General Manager David Small agreed saying “With the help of Wool-worths and the kindness of their shoppers, Variety is working to ensure all children across NSW and the ACT have access to the crucial equipment they need to ensure they are living to their full potential.”

“We’re so grateful for our longstanding partnership with Woolworths and the support their shoppers continue to show Variety. Together, we can support more kids in need this Easter.”

Woolworths customers have helped raise $11 million to date for Variety.
