This year’s Officeworks Make A Difference Appeal has raised $1,000,496 for local causes across the country.

 

The focus for this year was children’s health and education, with 14 local community organisations benefiting from the support by Officeworks and its customers. 

 

Officeworks store teams selected the organisations they wanted to help based on what felt most relevant to their local communities and during the month of June, customers were encouraged to round up the cost of their Officeworks purchase or make a direct contribution at the check-out in store or online.

● Little Dreamers - $59,206 

● Koala Kids - $65,937
