With the financial impact of COVID-19 continuing to affect charities, community members can purchase a $2 wall token with 100 per cent of funds raised supporting children in need.
The Halloween fundraising appeal will assist Variety with its ongoing efforts to support children across NSW and the ACT who are facing challenging times as a result of illness, disadvantage or living with a disability.
"This year has been tough on families across Australia, so we are extremely appreciative of Woolworths customers' ongoing support of the work Variety does to give kids and their families a fair go," David Small from Variety said.
Woolworths and Variety have been partners for more than seven years and through several fundraising efforts, including the Halloween Token Appeal, have raised over $11 million. The funds raised have helped families and their children with valuable financial support, along with providing mobility equipment and wheelchairs, communication devices and education aides, medical items and services and therapy services to those children and families in need.
Woolworths Gloucester Store Manager, Glenn MacCormack it's about providing an opportunity to support children in need for those who are able to.
"We're constantly amazed by the generous spirit of our customers and the ongoing support they show for our partnership with Variety," Glenn said.
The campaign runs through until Saturday October 31.
