ST MARYS RSL sub-Branch has proudly joined forces with Malabar sub-Branch to ensure deployed Australian Defence Force personnel feel the support of home while serving overseas.

A dedicated team of 14 members from St Marys, along with their BBQ cook and coach driver, travelled to Randwick Barracks to take part in the biannual care pack assembly. The initiative brings together RSL volunteers twice a year to prepare and send packages filled with comfort items to our troops, sailors, and air personnel currently deployed.

Special thanks were extended to Ian from RSL Australia, along with Julee and Robbo, for their efforts in organising the activity.

“We hope the troops, sailors and air personnel receiving the packs all enjoy the contents. May they remain safe and return home to loved ones soon,” St Marys RSL sub-Branch shared in a social media post. 

The care package program is a reminder of the strong bond between the veteran community and those currently serving, with local volunteers and families showing their support.
