Poppy Appeal 2021

Cobram Barooga RSL will have Poppy Appeal stalls at Woolworths and outside Cobram Betta and Cobram Newsagency today or purchase or donate where you see the Poppy Appeal merchandise in local stores. If you are unable to get to a stall, online donations can be made via the Poppy Appeal Australia Facebook page, or at poppyappeal.com.au. All proceeds are used for veteran welfare and so your donation to the Poppy Appeal changes the lives of veterans and their families. We will remember them.
