The donation of $600 came from the staff utilising the NSW Return and Earn scheme with the drink cans the club would normally recycle.
Life Skills Coordinator, Dianne Graham, said the donation from the staff was lovely.
"This is great because not all of our clients get an opportunity to get out," she said.
"We do hold a social night at the club but not everyone has the opportunity to come to them, so to have a luncheon is special because it can involve so many of our clients.
"A big thank you to the staff for their donation it's really lovely," she said.
Cowra Services Club's Sharlene McLeish praised fellow staff member Andy Colby for making the donation possible.
"Andy does all the hard work and leg work taking the cans down and returning them," she said.

"When Return and Earn scheme started it was Andy who said 'How about I take it around there'.
"From what gets cashed in at Return and Earn, half goes into a staff fund and the other half gets put aside to donate to a charity.
"So it will be an ongoing fund that will continue to be donated," she said.
