Sharon Milnes and Ann-Louise Stonestreet accepted the cheque from Member for Dubbo Troy Grant.
Mr Grant also took the opportunity to take a look around the community-made centre, particularly the new addition.
For Ms Milnes and Mrs Stonestreet they're hoping this is the beginning of support from the state government.
"We have no youth worker, no Aboriginal liaison person, no domestic violence worker, you continue to attack the symptoms and not the cause," Mrs Stonestreet told the Member for Dubbo.
The Community Skills group is hoping to get funds for a bus to take to the jail in Wellington, a qualified community service worker and eventually a neighbourhood centre for the shire.
"We want to create a room for the kids who wander around at night and a women's refuge," Mrs Stonestreet said.
"If a woman here needs refuge, she has to take a cab and she might not have any money, there's a lot of things we need."

The Community Skills group has come a long way during its time in Narromine.
"We started down at the hut by the river," Ms Milnes said.
"This (building) was a house, then a doctor's surgery, it was for sale for a couple of years and then Narromine Community Skills bought it."
The facility is a not-for-profit, community-driven asset to the town as it offers after-school activities for children, a meeting space for men with anger issues and a place for concerned community members to meet.
The new room at the back of the Dandaloo Street building is also a community effort, although it was funded by the state government.
"Bruce Wright from Wright's Engineering donated his labour for building the ramp which is totally appreciated," Mrs Stonestreet said.
"Toby Rush built the room and he kept the build as cheap as he could, understanding the significance of the work we do."
Mr Grant was thrilled to hand over the money earlier this week.
"It's the sort of project this fund (Community Partnership Grants) is designed for," he said.
"It's enhancing local infrastructure, adds access to front-line services and support and impacts on the broader community.
"I'm very happy to see the outcome, it's a good investment," he said.
