Donate
Donations to the RSL are always welcome.

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.
