Miranda Browne has been named The Entrance Local Woman of the Year 2024 in recognition of her significant work to actively support the community through The Entrance Food Hub.
Member for The Entrance David Mehan commended Browne on the honour, recognising her passion and the positive impact she has made in The Entrance community.
“Miranda Browne’s dedication to her community through the creation of The Entrance Food Hub is truly commendable,” Mehan said,
“Her social enterprise not only addresses the immediate needs of local residents by providing low-cost or free food but also fosters a sense of social connection and support.
“It’s evident that her efforts are not solely focused on meeting basic needs but also on creating an inclusive and supportive environment.”
