Between June 29 and August 2, Coles Horsham will raise money for SecondBite, a national charity which redistributes surplus fresh food to Australian families in need.
As part of a five-week campaign, Horsham residents can buy a $2 SecondBite donation card at Coles to help deliver the equivalent of five healthy meals to Australian families doing it tough.
State general manager Sarah Hunter said Coles was proud to participate in the SecondBite program and encouraged shoppers to get behind the campaign this winter.
“Too many people in our communities don’t have enough food to eat and are not able to afford healthy meals on a daily basis,” she said.
“We hope that through our surplus fresh food donations and the support from our local customers, we can make a real difference to people doing it tough this winter.”
SecondBite chief executive Jim Mullan said the organisation had partnered with Coles since November 2011 to rescue surplus fresh, nutritious food for people in need.
“By working together, SecondBite and Coles are providing enough fresh food for more than 23,000 nutritious meals every single day to children and families doing it tough across Australia,” he said.
“This cannot be achieved without the efforts of Coles and its team members.”
