RSL Care Packages featured on 7NEWS

Written By Jodine La Pere

On 27 August 2025, RSL volunteers arrived at Randwick Army Barracks in Sydney, ready to set to work packing around 400 care packages for Australian Defence Force Personnel serving overseas.

The RSL creates these packages twice a year. They’re filled with home favourites, snacks and treats, and a letter of appreciation to let our deployed service men and women know that they are remembered, valued and supported.

The RSL has been creating these care packages since the 1960s, when the Australian Army was serving in Veitnam. This initiative is made possible by donations to the Australian Forces Overseas Fund.

At the pack last week, we had some special guests! Channel 7 News’ Grace Fitzgibbon and her crew arrived to film behind the scenes for a special feature on The Bright Side. Thank you for featuring our work 7NEWS!
