Several local charities have gleefully accepted Ocean Grove Rotary donations.
The funds were raised at the club’s art show.
Feed Me Bellarine’s donation will be used to purchase defibrillators for each of their sites. It will also be used to replace some flooring.
“The club is proud to support Feed Me Bellarine and recognises the excellent assistance that the charity provides to the local community,” president Peter Cowburn said.
The club’s Rotary Art Show donations were presented at a recent meeting.
Major beneficiaries were Riding Develops Abilities Barwon and the Disabled Surfers Australia, Ocean Grove.
Riding Develops Abilities will use the donation to assist in providing riding opportunities to their clients.
Disabled Surfers runs two events in Ocean Grove a year and the donation will help with the events.
Additional beneficiaries from the art show were the Lazarus Centre, the Bellarine Community Support Register and Safe Water for Every Child Myanmar.
The Lazarus Centre will use its donation to provide support to the homeless community in Geelong, the Bellarine and Surf Coast.
The Bellarine Community Support Register will use its donation to purchase ergonomic furniture. Water filters will be purchased for internal displaced persons in Myanmar.
