More than $227,000 in grants from the Coleambally Community Bank will go straight back into the organisations and groups that support our great region.
They will fund numerous projects and activities, from new AI technologies in aged care, to funding critical tools for the local VRA Rescue.
These were presented last Thursday night at the Coleambally Community Club.
This brings the total contribution from the fund to more than $2 million over the last 25 years, and it is almost $3 million across Coleambally, Hillston, Hay and Griffith.
