Cardwell's community spirit shines as the Cardwell RSL recently received a generous $1000 donation, raised during Anzac Day celebrations this year by The Marine Hotel.

These fundraising efforts are part of the RSL’s ongoing social support, which annually totals around $20,000 to support veterans, local schools, and community groups.

The RSL remains committed to providing a welcoming space for veterans to share a meal, a drink, and the companionship to lend an ear with understanding and acceptance. Reach out, or pop-in for a drink on Sundays!
