MEMBERS of Wedderburn Patchwork Group have handed over their final donation of funds raised at the town’s annual Christmas and Arts Festival.
They travelled to Bendigo to hand over the cheque to Bendigo Foodshare and were taken on a tour of the distribution warehouse. Bendigo Foodshare sends food and produce to foodbanks across the region, including several in the Loddon Shire, every week.
Loddon foodbanks operate at Inglewood, Bridgewater, Boort, Wedderburn Dingee and Pyramid Hill
Completion of the $3.5 million warehouse tripled Foodshare’s storage capacity and is stage one of its vision for the food hub site.
After more than 30 years, the group has decided it is unable to continue running the popular November festival. Outgoing president Irene Finch, who has been one of the key organisers for 15 years, said members wanted another group in the community to take over the reigns.
