IGA backs farmers<\/h1>\n

THE owner of Michael\u2019s SUPA IGA in Leongatha, Michael Lorenz donated $80,000 to the Rural Financial Counselling Service to support local dairy farmers recently.<\/p>\n

The money was raised through the IGA Community Chest, which raises funds to support local charities, across Victoria.<\/p>\n

Approximately 1300 IGA store owners across Australia collect funds through the sale of specially marked products.<\/p>\n

Mr Lorenz said, \u201cWe want to thank the community for its ongoing support of IGA and our Community Chest program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese donations go some way towards helping dairy farmers in need. I personally have made an additional donation of $20,000 from Fairleys SUPA IGA to support our dairy farmers and their dedicated work for the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community are able to support our local farmers when they visit us in IGA stores across Victoria buy milk from our local farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n
