The three chosen beneficiaries, Veritas House, Ronald McDonald House Orange and West Bathurst Preschool received $2500, $1500 and $1000 respectively on the basis of how many tokens each organisation received.

Veritas House corporate services manager Narelle Stocks said the funds will go towards the organisation's specialist homelessness service.

"The service supports young people who are transitioning out of homelessness into independent living," Ms Stocks said.

"This grant will assist in the purchase of essential items [furniture, appliance etc.] to help clients settle into new accommodation."

Veritas House received the most tokens from the funding round, and Ms Stocks said she's grateful for the community's ongoing support.

"It's welcome acknowledgement for our staff and the work they do in the local community," she said.

"Community grants play a vital role in ensuring we can provide additional services for our clients that government funding can't cover."

Bernardi's Bathurst manager Raymond Matheson said the initiative supports local organisations who do an amazing job in the community.

"The Bernardi boys themselves are very generous people, and they want their business to give back to the communities they operate in," Mr Matheson said.
