Helping to raise money for our house, family room, and family retreat and other projects makes a huge difference to the children and families who come through our doors. If you are planning to help us fundraise please fill out the Fundraising Application Form.

You might want to hold a golf day, sporting day, cake stall or a BBQ – there are endless fundraising opportunities and we would love to hear from you. 

The power to keep families together is in your hands.

Ronald McDonald House Canberra gives families a place to stay so they are close to their child at all times. This means more time for hugs, kisses and lots of love.

A donation of $150 to the Adopt A Night program will cover the costs for a family staying in our House for a night.

Ronald McDonald House Canberra provides a home away from home for regional families of seriously ill children with the aim to keep families close during their time of need. Parents often return to the House after a long day at the hospital with their child and cooking a meal may be the last thing on their minds. This is an area where the House can take the stress away from a parent and make their lives easier.

Ronald McDonald House needs your help to ensure an efficient and quality dinner time service for families staying in the House.

The Program - Meals From The Heart

The Meals from the Heart Dinner Program invites teams of co-workers or community groups to prepare dinner for the families staying at the House. Ronald McDonald House Canberra provides the kitchen, and you provide the menu, food and enthusiastic chefs! You’ll be rewarded with a fun and meaningful experience, while you help make our families lives that little bit easier.

Dress up, decorate the dining room or theme your experience how you wish - you are only limited by your imagination!

We could not run our programs without the support of many local businesses, community groups and organisations. If you are interested in becoming a corporate partner through one of our events or sponsoring a room at the House or Retreat, please contact us at reception.canberra@rmhc.org.au

Your help can go a long way, from as simple as keeping food on the table, lights on and hot water running. These are all vital elements that help us continue to provide a soft place to land for families during their time of need, and most importantly keep families close.
