Ocean Grove & District Men’s Shed recently donated $700 to drought relief.

Members of the shed expressed concern about the plight of farmers in the drought stricken ares of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.

Over a cuppa, it was decided to raise funds to assist farmers affected by the drought.

The entire proceeds taken at one of the shed’s monthly community barbecues, together with donations from members and the donation of supplies by the shed saw $700 being raised for the Lion’s Club Foundation.

All money will assist farmers including those in Gippsland who are feeling the effects of the drought.

The ‘Shedders’ expressed their gratitude to members of the community who supported the sausage sizzle at Wallington’s Mitre 10.
