FROM November 14, Redlands Woolworths customers can buy a 50 cent token in the OzHarvest Christmas Appeal to provide a meal for Australians in need.
More than four million Australians experience food insecurity, and many food relief charities report they could take double the food to meet demand.
The OzHarvest Christmas Appeal at Woolworths hopes to raise more than $1 million nationally to assist in delivering more food to over 1300 charitable agencies.
Customers who buy a 50 cent meal token at Local Woolworths or online will be helping OzHarvest to deliver a meal to someone in need.
OzHarvest Queensland State Manager Amy Cobb said there will be families across Australia, including in Redland City, struggling to put food on the table this Christmas.
“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.
“At Local Woolworths, we understand that Christmas is a time to focus on family, friends and the local community," Local Woolworths Group Manager Anthony Angow said.
“By simply donating 50 cents by purchasing an OzHarvest Christmas Appeal token, we can all make a difference together and play a vital role in helping feed an Australian in need.”
Customers can buy an OzHarvest 50 cent meal token when shopping at any Woolworths store or online from November 14 until December 24.
Customers can place their name on any token once bought, and take it home or put it on display at Woolworths stores across the Redlands.
Last year, the Woolworths OzHarvest Christmas Appeal raised over $1 million for the food rescue organisation, providing two million meals for Australians across the country.
