Join our monthly online family dinner for war widows, defence and veteran families
Pull up a chair at one of our most loved wellbeing activities — our monthly cook and connect: veteran family dinner. Running on Thursday evenings from July to November 2026, cook along with other families across Australia from your own kitchen, share a meal, and enjoy some good conversation over Zoom. You are free to join us for any months dinner or all five!
Cook & connect: veteran family dinner online
War widows, defence and veteran families are invited to get together and join our social work team over Zoom to cook, chat, and enjoy a meal together from home. Each registered household will receive a $20 Coles gift card to help with ingredients, and a Mingle all-natural seasoning sachet that makes cooking simple. Each recipe is designed to feed four people (with leftovers for smaller households).
Registrations open six weeks before each session and close two weeks before. Please register once per household for each session you are attending.
Previous attendees to wellbeing activities said “Thank you for organising the activity, it was a wonderful experience for our family to connect and have fun together.”
