More than $600,000 has been donated to Save the Children since an alleged attack on MP Helen Haines in the Victorian town on Wangaratta on Monday afternoon.
The fundraiser was established just 24 hours ago amid an extraordinary outpouring of public goodwill and support for Dr Haines, after the MP's husband asked for donations be sent to the group in lieu of flowers.
Save the Children CEO Matt Tinkler says the organisation is humbled that Dr Haines and her family have directed public goodwill towards the charity's work.
He says he is also moved by the community's generosity.
"Every dollar raised here will be spent who are vulnerable, living in communities in the region. On things that are close to Helen's heart like maternal child health care and malnutrition."

Law firm Honenu says a Jerusalem court has ordered the group to be placed under house arrest, after allegedly being filmed last week assaulting Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, who was covering a Palestinian olive harvest in the occupied West Bank.
The arrests have followed a mounting wave of militant Israeli settler violence during the Palestinian olive harvest, with Yesh Din reporting 125 physical attacks over the 24 days since the season began.
Such arrests are rare, with several Israeli rights groups saying that the majority of militant settler attacks in the West Bank are carried out with impunity.
