Shoppers at Collie Woolworths have been urged to help feed those in need this Christmas through the OzHarvest Christmas Appeal.
The appeal, which runs until December 24, aims to raise more than $1 million across the country in order to deliver food to over 1300 charitable agencies for distribution to the more than four million Australians suffering from food insecurity.
To supplement donations of fresh produce from Woolworths stores, shoppers will be able to purchase meal tokens for 50 cents, with each token allowing OzHarvest to deliver a meal to someone in need.
OzHarvest WA state manager Jen Keen said there was a large number of families across the country ‘struggling to put meals on the table’.
“Through the Woolworths OzHarvest Christmas Appeal, together we can ensure charities can help support those in need and meet the growing demand for support,” she said.
In 2017 the appeal provided two million meals for people in need across the country.
