Drought relief

Helping farmers cope with drought

Together with our customers, Coles has committed more than $17 million to drought relief since July 2018.

The support has helped more than 4000 farming families to pay for household or farm expenses in times of drought or to begin a project to help them cope with drought in the future.

Coles’ support for drought relief has involved:

• More than $8.8 million raised by Coles and its customers for the Country Women’s Association (CWA) Drought Appeal.
• A total of $5 million in grants from the Coles Nurture Fund for food producers with a project to help them combat drought in the future.
• More than $3.9 million raised through Coles Dairy Drought Relief Fund.
