A Keysborough supermarket’s staff and customers have raised $5840 for a Christmas charity campaign.
In five weeks, the Coles supermarket campaign raised $1.42 million nationally for Redkite, which supports families affected by cancer.
Funds from each purchase of Redkite Christmas merchandise went directly to the charity.
Redkite chief executive Monique Keighery said the generosity sent a “very clear message of support to our families at Christmas”.
It ensured families had access to counselling at hospital bedsides, music therapy and financial help.
Coles state general manager Mark O’Connor said: “We are incredibly thankful to our customers and team members for their amazing support in raising money for children and their families affected by cancer.”
“At a time of year when the pressure on families can be heightened, our customers can take pride in enabling Redkite to provide vital care and support to cancer-affected children and families when they need it most.”
