Officeworks raises money for charities
August 1, 2024
This year’s Officeworks Make a Difference Appeal has raised more than AU$830,000 ($541,011/ €501,630) for 16 charity groups across Australia.
Since the annual appeal first launched in 2018, Officeworks team members together with the continued support from generous customers have raised almost AU$6 million ($3.91 million/ €3.63 million) for community organisations.
The 2024 appeal focused on supporting local community organisations and charities that enable children to learn, create and connect for a sustainable future. Officeworks store teams selected the organisations they wanted to support, based on what felt most relevant to their local communities.
Through the month of June, customers were encouraged to donate to support their local charity at the check-out in store or online.
Officeworks Managing Director, Sarah Hunter, said: “The Make A Difference Appeal is very close to our hearts and we’re incredibly thankful for the generosity and passion that our teams, customers and local communities have shown in getting behind this year’s appeal, helping make a positive difference in Australian children’s lives.
“Now in its seventh year, the funds raised by our annual Officeworks Make a Difference Appeal will help to ensure these organisations can continue the important work they do in our local communities in ensuring Australian children have the support they need to learn and grow.”
CEO of My Room Children’s Cancer Charity, a 2024 Make a Difference Appeal partner, Margaret Zita OAM said: “We are extremely grateful to Officeworks for their unwavering commitment to making a profound difference in the community. For a volunteer-led charity like My Room partnering with Officeworks for the Make a Difference Appeal is a game-changer. We are incredibly grateful to Officeworks for their unwavering commitment to making a profound difference in the community, especially for the children and families affected by childhood cancer.”
