Annual appeal runs throughout October.

 

Officeworks has launched its 2022 Literacy is Freedom Appeal, a program that raises funds to provide education resources and learning support for children and communities in need across Australia.

 

Customers can support the appeal in-store or online throughout October with all funds raised going to support the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation’s (ALNF) community-led literacy and language programs, which work to close the literacy gap for First Nations, refugee and other vulnerable Australian children.

 

Officeworks first partnered with ALNF in 2012 and to date has raised $3.4 million and supported more 10,000 students through the annual appeal and generosity of customer donations.

 

Officeworks managing director Sarah Hunter said: “This year, we are aiming to help make bigger things happen and support 3500 students. By 2025, we aim to support 30,000 students as part of our People and Planet Positive commitments.”
