Local branch customers raise $80k

A Geelong office supply company, along with help from the community, has donated nearly $80,000 to the Les Twentyman Foundation.

Officeworks Geelong will present the foundation with $79,823 thanks to the generosity of the local community in this year’s Officeworks Make A Difference Appeal.

Throughout June, the appeal encourages customers to round up the cost of their Officeworks purchase or make a direct contribution at the check-out in store or online, with funds going directly to The Les Twentyman Foundation.

This donation will help provide children and young people whose families are facing financial difficulty with access to education and educational resources.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work our team puts in to support the Make A Difference Appeal,” Officeworks Geelong Store Business Manager, Mark Nuttall said.

“We’re thrilled that we’ve raised these funds to support the important work of The Les Twentyman Foundation to ensure all children, regardless of economic circumstance, race or gender have access to education and educational resources.

“Thank you to all of our customers who donated to this year’s Make A Difference Appeal and supporting our local community.”
