Woolworths Cobram is once again supporting the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
Customers are able to make a donation and help provide supportive spaces for kids and their families at the hospital until April 11.
You can do that by either adding a $2 Easter egg-shaped token to your shop or making a round-up donation on self-service check-outs. Customers shopping online can add a $2 variety donation to their online basket.
Woolworths’ customers have helped raise $26 million since 1987 for The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal through ongoing appeals.
Funds donated play a vital role in helping provide the best possible care for sick kids.
Woolworths store manager Brad Lovejoy said during the past 36 years, the Woolworths and Royal Children’s Hospital partnership has helped make children more comfortable by promoting children’s understanding of hospital and healthcare experiences.
“Together we have empowered children and helped them manage anxiety and minimise distress around their experiences in hospital,” Mr Lovejoy said.
“It’s a great example of how a little can go a long way and together we continue to make a difference in children’s and families lives across Victoria.
“We’d like to thank all of our customers who have donated to our Easter appeal over the years, as their generous contribution is a great example of how our community comes together to support those in need.”
Thanks to the support of the Good Friday Appeal and Woolworths’ customer donations, patients and families at The Royal Children’s Hospital will help expand a full-time educational and therapeutic garden program, offering a supportive and interactive space for all.
