Grilling Up Goodness

Residents of the Rockingham Home for the Aged in Cardwell are set to enjoy more outdoor gatherings thanks to two new Weber Family Q barbecues donated by Cardwell Meals on Wheels and the RSL.

The donation came after the home urgently required a replacement barbecue. Each month, the Rockingham Home hosts barbecue lunches for residents and their families, and the new equipment will ensure this much-loved tradition continues.

As a gesture of thanks, the home invited the Meals on Wheels Committee to join residents for a special barbecue lunch, where everyone came together to celebrate the donation and enjoyed a hearty meal.

Cardwell Meals on Wheels, the RSL and the Rockingham Home have built a long-standing relationship over many years, working closely to support the needs of local residents. This partnership remains an important part of the community and is expected to continue well into the future.

This donation is one of many contributions made by the RSL Sub Branch, which has already given back $15,500 to the local community this year alone. For the residents of Rockingham Home, the BBQ represents much more than just a place to cook—it’s a reminder that they are supported, valued, and connected to their community.
