Cardwell RSL Supports Community With Generous Donations

The Cardwell RSL Sub Branch hosted a memorable cheque presentation ceremony on Sunday the 27th of July, marking yet another act of generosity from the organisation. The latest donation ensures the Sub Branch will receive an invitation to the Over 65’s Lions Christmas Party later this year, an exciting event all members are eager to attend.

So far in 2025, Cardwell RSL has donated more than $13,000 to various community organisations, including local schools, the Coast Guard, and other non-profits.

Much of the funding for these donations comes from the Sub Branch’s popular Sunday BBQ and buffet lunches. At just $10 per person, the spread which includes a wide variety of fresh salads—continues to draw crowds, with 66 diners attending last weekend alone.

The ongoing success of these community lunches is thanks to the dedication of Cardwell RSL’s volunteers. From manning the BBQ and kitchen to running the bar, the volunteer team keeps operations running smoothly each week.

Their hard work not only feeds the community but helps fund vital local projects, proving once again that when a community comes together, everyone benefits.
