In a show of support for community footy, Coles partnered with Essendon Football Club to host a special meet and greet event at Coles Coburg North, a key hub for Bombers fans in the northern suburbs.

The event featured Essendon players Nic Martin, Jade Gresham and Sam Durham, who took the time to meet fans, sign autographs and take photos with supporters.

Adding to the community feel, Coles generously provided a free sausage sizzle, keeping the fans fed on a cold night.

Coles’ support of this initiative is one of many contributions they make to our broader community programs.

From our Indigenous programs to our VFL, VFLW and Wheelchair Football initiatives, Coles continues to champion the importance of community connection, inclusion and support.

Essendon Football Club extends its thanks to Coles for their ongoing partnership to the club.
