Creating a brighter future

The Mulwala Water Ski Club ClubGRANTS program donated $5,000 to Moira FoodShare “A generous donation like this one from the ski club means more than 50 FoodShare volunteers are able to distribute over 20,000kgs of food to over 3,000 residents each month. “We are extremely grateful to the ski club for this donation and their continued support of Moira FoodShare.” Mulwala Water Ski Club (MWSC) President Matt Holgate said that MWSC are proud to and will continue to support the community in any way they can. “MWSC is conscious of the important role we play in supporting our local community,” Mr Holgate said. “Yarrawonga/Mulwala is very lucky to have many support groups who largely rely on volunteers to run these support groups, and a generous local community to fund these groups. “Foodshare does a fantastic job of supporting people who need assistance in our community. Helping to fund Foodshare aligns with the values of MWSC. “We have a long association with MHA Care through the various community care services they provide – including Foodshare.” The ski club has provided donations to several community groups and businesses in the area for many years with Mr Holgate saying that what these groups provide, align with the ski club’s visions and values.

Supporting local Hospital

Mulwala Water Ski Club Club Grants program has donated $34,000

The donation went to the purchase of a day stay trolley, blanket warmer, syringe drivers, handheld fans and a three-year scholarship.

Yarrawonga Health Acting CEO Erica Anderson said the donation was greatly appreciated and goes a long way to keeping patients comfortable.

Yarrawonga Health is very appreciative of this donation that enables us to utilise funds for the betterment of the care we provide to our patients and the community,” Ms Anderson said.
“When our staff saw the blanket warmer, they were incredibly excited as they know that it assists them in being able to provide another small level of care to patients to keep them comfortable before or after surgery.
“Another day stay trolley (hospital bed) means patients can be comfortable and warm while waiting for surgery instead of being gowned up and just sitting in a chair in the waiting room.”
“A donation towards an annual staff scholarship is also beneficial for our patients as it’s so important to invest in our people, it provides staff with the advanced skills they need to care for our community members.” Mr Holgate said the ski club is always proud to be involved in the investment of locals with health care high on the priority list for the club.

“We are wanting to be more proactive in our donations to causes such as this as it is very worthwhile.
“We are more than happy to be involved and will continue to be so.”
