The Riverina Group raised about $900 while also cooking meals and crafting knitwear to support the mobile service last year, providing vital relief to the region's disadvantaged throughout the pandemic.
As a fundraising project remains on the agenda of each branch annually, a motion to support Carevan for a second year was carried during Wagga's end of year meeting.
Mrs Grylls was one of those who strapped on an apron, and while she admits her skills aren't best utilised in the kitchen, she has enjoyed every moment of her involvement.
"Carevan operates on donations, volunteers, and just the grants that Lynne [Graham, Carevan founder] applies for, they get no government funding whatsoever," she said.
"It is absolutely amazing to think that this place feeds so many people out there."
Mrs Grylls said the CWA is honoured to continue aiding a tireless community stalwart like Ms Graham.
