More than 900 Coles supermarkets and Coles Liquor stores across the country fundraised to help Guide Dogs breed, raise, and train puppies and adult dogs as companions for those with disabilities.
“Coles has a long and proud history with Guide Dogs, raising more than $14M over 40 years through initiatives such as Donation Dogs, community bags and team member fundraising to help support Australians living with low vision or blindness,” Coles Group general manager Sally Fielke said.
“The Donation Dogs sit proudly in Coles stores across Australia as a reminder of the great work Guide Dogs do in the community and we can’t thank our customers enough for keeping them well fed over the past financial year.”
Other winners from NSW are Coles at Broadway and Maroubra Junction.
“When I see our coin Donation Dogs in Coles stores, I realise how even just a small amount can have a big impact,” Guide Dogs Manager Eddie Sullivan said.
“People approach me to say their first experience supporting Guide Dogs was when their parents let them put coins at Coles. Many years later, they still support us.”
“It’s wonderful to know our Donation Dogs hold a special place in the hearts of Coles customers and team members. Thank you everyone.”
