The Nationals’ Member for Northern Victoria Gaelle Broad has encouraged local community and volunteer groups to apply for the 2025-2026 Community Food Relief Program – Local Grants.
Groups eligible for funding include:
- Neighbourhood houses
- Community and volunteer-led organisations
- Social enterprises
Ms Broad urged eligible groups to apply, given the vital work local community and volunteer groups provide across the region.
Ms Broad said the demand for food relief had increased dramatically across Northern Victoria.
“It is critical that organisations are supported so they can help those in need,” Ms Broad said.
“This new round of funding will help and support the work so many of our community and volunteer groups provide in our community.
“I urge all our eligible groups to consider applying for the latest round of the Community Food Relief Program.”
Applications for the 2025-2026 Community Food Relief Program – Local Grants close on August 19 2025.
