Cockatoo RSL offers free Christmas lunch on 25 December

Cockatoo RSL is set to hold its annual Christmas lunch once again this year.

A smorgasbord of roasts, vegies, salads and cold meats will be available for attendees on Christmas Day, Monday 25 December.

RSL president Carol Thompson said the Christmas lunch commenced in 2016 and has been ongoing since then.

“We hope people get to enjoy Christmas and not be home alone,” Ms Thompson said.

“Singles, couples, parents with kids are welcome, really anyone who has nowhere to go [or] someone to spend the day with.

“It’s a free lunch and any donations given go towards the cost of the food.”

The Christmas lunch will take place from 12pm to 4pm, with bookings able to assist the RSL with catering.

Cockatoo RSL is located at 20 Belgrave-Gembrook Road in Cockatoo.

For bookings, contact (03) 5968 8053 during business hours.
