Poppy Appeal assistance



This year, the Warburton RSL Sub-Branch is putting out the call; can you spare an hour or two to volunteer for the 2019 Poppy Appeal?

Warburton RSL Sub-Branch President Wayne Morgan said that they would love to see new volunteers donate their time in support of the Poppy Appeal.

“We need our community’s support to reach our goal. We would love to see more volunteers out there selling badges and being a part of helping to raise much needed funds for veterans,” Mr Morgan said.

“We would welcome the support of anyone who has an hour or two of their time to donate to the Appeal.

“This could involve helping us pack poppies into trays, dropping our Poppy Appeal boxes off at local businesses or helping us sell poppies for an hour or two at the local shops” Mr Morgan said.

RSL Victoria Appeals Manager Peter Smith OAM said, “Raising funds for veterans and their families in times of need is what we do, and we welcome businesses, sporting clubs, friends and family to be a part of helping this great cause.”

Those interested in volunteering don’t need to be a member of their local RSL.

Call the Warburton RSL Sub-Branch on 0404 783 335 to register your interest in becoming a Poppy Appeal volunteer.
