State Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland said some of the successful applicants in the last round of funding included the Seymour and District Community House Inc and Waminda Community House in Benalla.
Groups eligible for funding include:
- Neighbourhood houses
- Community and volunteer-led organisations
- Social enterprises
Ms Cleeland is urging eligible groups to apply, given the important work local community and volunteer groups provide across our region to people in need.
“I’ve had the privilege of meeting with community groups and neighbourhood houses across our region, and it’s clear just how vital their work is to the wellbeing of our towns,” Ms Cleeland said.
“With the demand for food relief continuing to rise, it’s more important than ever that we support the organisations helping people in need.
“Unfortunately, many of these groups often lack the resources required to sustain their essential programs. That’s why this new round of funding is such a welcome boost for the sector.
“I strongly encourage all eligible groups to apply for the latest round of the Community Food Relief Program to ensure they can continue their valuable work.”
Applications for the 2025-2026 Community Food Relief Program – Local Grants close on August 19.
