Collingwood is happy to announce that a combined $100k has been generously donated to the Magpie Nest program by the Collingwood and the Club’s community partner Coles.
Around 500 members of Melbourne’s homeless and underprivileged community were fed lunch at the annual Magpie Nest Footy Finals Lunch at the Magpie Nest Café on Thursday, when the announcement was made.
The fundraising was done in advance of Collingwood’s AFL Round 20 matchup with Richmond. Prior to the game, Salvation Army Commanding Officer Major Brendan Nottle raised awareness about homelessness by spending two nights camped outside the AIA Vitality Center of the Club.
The money raised will help the Magpie Nest Program, which houses and feeds Melbourne’s impoverished and homeless population.
