Coles stores on the Central Coast Coles have donated $3,300 to their SecondBite charity partner, Mercy & Grace Ministries Central Coast-Woy Woy.
Along with the cash, the region’s Coles stores also donated around $4,000 worth of non-perishable food which filled a Coles Online van-load of food, delivered to the charity on November 21 at Coles West Gosford.
The money was raised by team members from the region’s nine Coles stores and will allow Mercy & Grace Central Coast to further support local farmers, their families and animals.
The food will be used by the charity to help feed locals in need.
The donation complements the ongoing efforts of the local Coles stores to reduce food waste and help feed people in need as part of their national partnership with SecondBite.
In the past 13 months, the stores in the region have donated the equivalent of over 230 tonnes of unsold, edible food to SecondBite and its local partners like Mercy & Grace Ministries Central Coast.
