Poppy Appeal
Frankston RSL is looking for volunteers to help sell Remembrance Day Appeal badges at several major shopping centres, in and around the Frankston area, from October 29 until November 10.
The valuable funds raised from our appeals go directly in support of veterans and their families who find themselves in necessitous circumstances, and the funds raised at the Frankston RSL also go toward helping prevent social isolation and subsiding regular veteran wellbeing activities organised through our “wellness and wellbeing” programs.
Help make the 2023 Poppy Appeal great, in the knowledge that your time and valuable assistance is immensely appreciated by our needy veterans and their families.
What does it involve?
