The Tocumwal Optimists’ Club recently made another donation (this being its third) to Moira Food Share based in Cobram.
More than 200kg of food and hygiene products funded by the Optimists and supplied by IGA Tocumwal were delivered last week.
Moira Food Share coordinator James Rouel said almost 4000 residents from both Moira and Berrigan Shires accessed the facility in April 2024.
James also acknowledged that Tocumwal residents are regularly availing themselves of this service.
The Optimists sincerely thank Anthony March and his team at Tocumwal IGA who organised the goods and made additional donations for this worthy cause.
The coordinator and volunteers at Moira Food Share were overwhelmed and greatly appreciative of the Optimists’ donation.
