Meadow Springs shoppers have been named the fifth most generous in WA by raising funds for Curing Homesickness.
Meadow Springs made the list after Maddington, Midland, Claremont, and Flinders Square based on the amount of $2 donation cards and Mum's Sause products purchased.
Residents raised an incredible $3,412 in just two weeks for Coles' national Curing Homesickness initiative - which will go towards much-needed equipment and technology for WA sick kids at Perth's Children's Hospital.
This initiative aims to get sick kids home from hospital sooner or make their hospital stay easier.
Coles Meadow Springs customers contributed to the state-wide total of $113,000, with customers now raising over $2.9 million for Curing Homesickness since 2019.

Perth Children's Hospital Foundation chief executive Carrick Robinson thanked Coles and its customers.
"The generosity shown by the WA community has been extraordinary. The support truly does make a difference to the lives of sick children in WA," he said.
"We look forward to building on the success of this campaign and this incredible partnership with Coles and its customers to get sick children home where they belong."
More than $1.1 million was raised nationally through donation cards and customer donations while nearly 50,000 jars of pizza and pasta sauces from the Mum's Sause range were sold across Australia during the campaign.
Coles state general manager Pat Zanetti said breaking the $1 million national milestone had been a result of working together with stores, children's hospitals, and the community.
"We can't thank our customers and team members enough for getting behind the Curing Homesickness cause once again," he said.
"This year's campaign has surpassed all our expectations with more than $113,000 raised and nearly 6,000 jars of Mum's Sause pasta and pizza sauces sold in WA.
"We're so proud to continue our partnership with Perth Children's Hospital Foundation to help get sick kids home from hospital sooner."
Shoppers can continue to support Curing Homesickness by buying a Mum's Sause Pizza Sauce (new) or Mum's Sause Pasta Sauce from Coles supermarkets, with 50 cents from each product sold supporting Perth Children's Hospital Foundation.
