After 30 years of working with veterans, the Veterans Motorcycle Club Rock Valley Chapter is ready to upgrade.

Thanks to a volunteer grant from the Federal Government, the club can now upgrade their food preparation capabilities, storage space and laundry facilities.

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan, today announced a $4,860 grant would be given to the club to support its new projects.

“The work they do supporting our veterans is incredibly important,” Mr Hogan said.

“The group have been working in our community for decades, this funding will ensure they can continue to support our returned servicemen for years to come.”

“One of the great aspects of the club is the different people it brings together.

There are Army, Navy and Airforce veterans that are all being brought together at the club. It’s a great support network for people who may not have had the opportunity if the club weren’t here.”

“Volunteers are central to so many local organisations and provide important services in our community.

“It is important to support the efforts of these organisations and the individuals that allow them to function.”
