WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
Donate
Donations to the RSL are always welcome.
You can make donations specifically for the welfare of veterans and their dependents, or you can donate directly to the Woodend Sub-Branch to support its activities and services in the community.
Do you have some local war memorabilia you'd like to donate to our museum? We'd love to hear from you!
Attend a Service
Woodend RSL raises funds for veterans' welfare by conducting two major appeals each year:
ANZAC Day - when badges and other commemorative items are sold by volunteers throughout the community
Remembrance Day (also known as "Poppy Day") - when red poppies are sold by volunteers throughout the community
We greatly appreciate your support on these days.
