The food stall is one of Launceston Windmill Hill Lions Club's biggest fundraisers.
This year, and for the past few years, the club has donated funds to The Examiner's Winter Relief Appeal.
In 2019, the club has donated another $1000.
"We try and distribute the money evenly as much as we can in the community," Mrs Dilworth said.
"Winter Relief Appeal we like to support when we can. We supported it last year because we know the money goes to, and supports the four different charities."

But, Mrs Dilworth said that's why people join Lions.
"It's very important that we support local charities because that's what we do. We all join Lions to serve our community," she said.
"All the money we raise we put straight back into the community."
The Examiner's Winter Relief Appeal is celebrating 61 years. The appeal supports four Northern Tasmanian charities - St Vincent de Paul, the Benevolent Society, Red Cross and City Mission.
In 1977, the target was $6000. For 2019 we would like to reach the $75,000 mark.
In the 2019 appeal, so far about $24,000 has been raised.
