Dandenong Ranges Community Finance Limited has taken a proactive step towards supporting the well-being of local RSL Veterans by providing substantial funding for dinners throughout the upcoming year. Company Chair, Deb Weber, officially handed over a cheque for $10,000 to Upwey Belgrave RSL President, Fred Schmager, in a heartfelt gesture
aimed at fostering camaraderie and well-being within the veteran community.
In a brief ceremony held at the Upwey Belgrave RSL, Ms. Weber expressed the organisation's commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of veterans facing challenges. "We see this as a very tangible way of helping veterans who may be struggling to join with others in a relaxed social setting and enjoy a nice dinner with other people who have had similar experiences. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality of life for local veterans, offering them a supportive environment to share experiences and build lasting connections." she stated.
The financial contribution is intended to assist the Upwey Belgrave RSL in providing much-needed dinners for veterans, creating opportunities for social engagement and mutual support.
The donation reflects the longstanding association between Dandenong Ranges Community Finance Limited and the Upwey Belgrave RSL.
"We are pleased to be able to assist in this instance," Ms. Weber added, highlighting the organisation's ongoing commitment to community well-being and its recognition of the unique
challenges faced by veterans.
