Woolworths is showing its national spirit this year – supporting the Australian Paralympic Team with limited edition Green & Gold bakery products, available throughout July and August.

Three sweet treats will arrive in all Woolworths supermarkets from 24 July, and for every product purchased in the Green & Gold bakery range, Woolworths will donate $1 to support Paralympics Australia.

The Green & Gold Bakery range includes a Soccer Ball Smash Cake, Green & Gold Donuts, and Iced Cupcakes.

Customers shopping in stores are also invited to have their own podium finish in support of Paralympics Australia with the purchase of a medal token at the checkout.

From 10/07/24 until 13/08/24, customers can purchase a $3 Gold Token, a $2 Silver Token or a $1 Bronze Token when finishing their shop and customers also have the opportunity to donate online and purchase tokens while doing their shop. All proceeds of the medal tokens will be donated to Paralympics Australia.

Woolworths Supermarkets managing director, Natalie Davis, said that as the Fresh Food Partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic Teams, the company was getting behind the team in green and gold as they compete in the coming weeks.

“We’re delighted to extend our support for Paralympics Australia with the donations from our exclusive bakery range, and would like to thank our customers and team members for taking part in the Medal Token Appeal," said Davis.

"Small change can make a big difference and we wish all of our Olympic and Paralympic team good luck achieving their personal bests in Paris.”

The Green & Gold Bakery items will be available in all Woolworths supermarkets and online while stocks last. Full details of the items are as follows;

  • Woolworths Green & Gold Soccer Ball Smash Cake 1.2kg for RRP $38: The iconic Woolworths Smash Cake in the form of a soccer ball.
