Looking for a way to make your weekends count? Get your family, friends, teammates, or community group together and cook a meal for families supported by Ronald McDonald House in Westmead.
Families with sick kids face overwhelming anxiety, financial strain, and the emotional toll of having a seriously ill child. Mealtimes can be an added burden, which is why Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney is expanding their meal programs. The goal? One nutritious meal a day, seven days a week, for families with a child receiving treatment at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead—whether they’re staying at the House or not.
This is where you can help. Join their Weekend Cook & Care program—a heartwarming, hands-on way to give back as a group. Whether you’re a family or group of friends looking for a meaningful bonding activity, a sports club planning a team-building day, or celebrating a milestone in a memorable way, you’ll be warmly welcomed at the Westmead House.
