“The Curing Homesickness initiative embodies Coles’ passion to help Australians lead happier, healthier lives by supporting children’s hospitals to get sick kids’ home from hospital sooner or make their hospital stay easier,” Mr O'Connor said.
“Thanks to the generosity of our customers over the past two weeks - and through our ongoing donations from the sale of Mum’s Sause - we’re delighted to have raised nearly $270,000 so far to support The Monash Health Foundation as part of the Curing Homesickness initiative.”
Nationally, Coles raised more than $910,000 for the Curing Homesickness appeal, taking total funds raised for the initiative to over $1.5 million since June 2019.
