Labor has committed $50,000 to invest in the Hampton Park Uniting Church, if it is re-elected at the November election.

Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas announced the church would reap the rewards of the funding to “secure the future of this important group”.

For years the Hampton Park Uniting Church has supported hundreds of people in the community – ensuring they get access to support services, such as food relief, the community garden, free legal services and playgroups, Mr Maas said.

“The Hampton Park Uniting Church has a big heart – assisting locals who need a helping-hand. It’s why we’re going to make sure they have some of the additional resources needed to keep supporting our local community,” he said.
