A team building activity to connect in an authentic way while making a difference to the lives of WA families with ill or injured children
A home cooked meal is often taken for granted and it's for that reason we set up ‘Home for Dinner’. The program invites you to cook a meal from the heart, for families with ill or injured children who rely on Ronald McDonald House Charities WA.
After a long day of hospital appointments, cooking a meal may be the last thing on a parent's or carer's mind. For ten years, we’ve been proud to partner with Mineral Resources (MinRes) who employ two chefs, Tommy and Zi, to ensure our families have a nourishing meal at the end of each day. By simply helping Tommy and Zi to prepare a homemade dinner for our families, you can help make things a little easier at a time when they need it most.
The Home For Dinner experience allows corporate and community teams to cook a meal for families who rely on Ronald McDonald House Charities WA.
Each year on average, we will provide 50,000 home cooked meals for WA families staying across Ronald McDonald House at QEII, Ronald McDonald House on Park and Ronald McDonald House in PCH. So, join us for a very special giving experience to share with your colleagues and friends.
Your Home for Dinner experience will start at 2:45pm and finish at 8:00pm.
‘Plate a difference’ in the lives of WA families with ill or injured children staying with us, by preparing a healthy morning tea for them.
Lovin From The Oven sessions start at 8:45 am.
Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, and when you’re caring for an ill or injured child, it’s the fuel you need to kick-start a morning filled with medical appointments.
Plan your menu and BYO ingredients, and then utilise the Ronald McDonald House at QEII kitchen.
The Big Breakfast sessions start at 7:30 am.
“At MinRes, we know the importance of a good meal because we’ve seen firsthand how it impacts the wellbeing of our own employees. Just as we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our workforce, we want to extend that care to families going through a difficult time.
We hope that by providing a home-cooked meal it offers families comfort, stability and a sense of normality in a time of uncertainty. We encourage everyone to gather their friends, family or colleagues and join Tommy and Zi in the kitchen to help cook dinner – it’s such a rewarding experience.”
– MinRes Executive General Manager People Facilities and Logistics, Bethanie Ibrahim
