Feel like you could get your hands dirty and get stuck into physical work? Then a Working Bee might be the perfect option for your team. As an optional extra your team are welcome to cook lunch in our kitchen and get to know any of the families that may be around* not mandatory. Supporting the families of seriously ill children at Ronald McDonald House is an amazing and unforgettable team-building experience that demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, encourages staff engagement, and boosts morale.
Jane from Canaccord Genuity Australia said:
Our teams love supporting Ronald McDonald House through the cook programs. Knowing you are really helping is very rewarding personally and spending time with the families and hearing their stories and more about RMHC is very humbling. I would strongly suggest more organisations get behind this program, it’s very fulfilling.

We are a not-for-profit organisation that relies solely on donations and community support. As financial support is vital for us to continue to provide this support, a donation is required to secure your spot in our Group Volunteering Program.
Your generous donation helps cover the cost of running this program; including equipment upkeep, volunteer training, staffing, and of course keeping our doors open to more families than ever before.
Our main priority is to always keep our families and yourselves safe and healthy. This means we must ensure we follow some guidelines as we welcome guests to our houses.
