Legacy Queensland has been forced to sell its Brisbane headquarters, with public donations sliding by $1.4 million after volunteers stopped collecting donations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The veterans charity provides financial, emotional and housing support to almost 7000 Queenslanders who are related to deceased war veterans.
