A local community group in Mitchell will benefit from a share of $2.7 million from the Morrison Government to support the work of local volunteers.
The grant awarded is between $1,000 and $5,000 and will enable the local organisation to better support their volunteers to purchase small equipment, pay fuel, transport and training costs.
Federal Member for Mitchell, the Hon Alex Hawke MP, said volunteers are an integral part of our society, especially during difficult times.
