Need for Feed

The Need for Feed initiative recently organised a significant hay run to support drought-affected farmers on King Island. On May 18, 2024, 30 trucks transported 550 tonnes of oaten hay and 220 tonnes of cattle pellets from Swan Hill to Port Welshpool. The feed was then loaded onto the King Islander vessel for shipment to King Island.

This effort involved many volunteers and local groups, including the Port Welshpool Coast Guard and the Yarram Lions Club, who helped keep the drivers well-fed during their stay. It's heartwarming to see communities come together to support those in need during challenging times.
