Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington was proud to present one of her Local Hero Grants to the Kingaroy Hospital Auxiliary to help them purchase a cash register for the Hospital Canteen.
Mrs Frecklington presented the grant to the group’s Secretary, Alison Murray, and said it was wonderful to support groups such as the Kingaroy Hospital Auxiliary who do so much for the community.
"This Local Hero Grant will help the Auxiliary purchase a cash register, which will make it much easier for the Canteen volunteers to serve customers and keep a better record of products sold," Mrs Frecklington said.
"I was blown away by the quality and number of applications which were submitted by groups from around the Nanango Electorate in Round Five of my Local Hero Grants program.
"These are small but meaningful $250 grants which provide an opportunity to show my support, thanks and appreciation for all our hardworking volunteer groups who make such a difference for our community. They also encourage people who are attending sporting or other events and need assistance to make it possible," Deb said.
The four successful groups in Round Five are:
