The Wagga Food and Wine Festival was launched on November 9, 2002 and now attracts more than 7000 people.

The festival has always been a fundraising event for Wollundry Rotary and in the past five years, has chosen a single beneficiary to donate all of the festivals earnings to.

In 2017, the organisation donated $40,000 to the Riverina Cancer Care Centre.

Applications are now open for their 2019 beneficiary.

They are looking to know a little about the history of  organisations and how financial assistance would benefit it.

Applications can be emailed to Laurie lblowes@optusnet.com.au or Paul milde@iinet.net.au.
