As a proud Newcastle-based firm, Mullane & Lindsay enjoys engaging with and giving back to our local community. A number of our staff recently had the privilege of participating in the “Meals from the Heart” program at Ronald McDonald House, located in the grounds of the John Hunter Hospital.
Mullane & Lindsay has worked with Ronald McDonald House for a number of years participating in the “Meals from the Heart” program. The program invites volunteers from the community to prepare meals for families staying at the House, alleviating the burden of daily meal preparation for the families and allowing them to instead focus on their children’s recovery.
During our recent visit to Ronald McDonald House, we embraced the beginning of summer by preparing a hearty dinner for 30 people which featured burgers, salads, potato bake, kid-friendly sausages, and dessert. We also took the opportunity to connect with the families, hear their stories, and learn more about their individual situations. Participating in the “Meals from the Heart” program gave us the opportunity to connect with our community, and allowed us to provide tangible and practical support to families navigating a difficult time.
Our staff appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the work of the Ronald McDonald House organisation, which is dedicated to supporting families with seriously ill children, striving to keep families together throughout their child’s essential medical treatment. Ronald McDonald House is designed as a “home-away-from-home”, providing a place to stay, meals, essentials, and overall a comforting environment for families who need to be near their hospitalised children.
Thank you to the families we had the pleasure of meeting, and for your kind words about our food! We wish you all the best for your children’s treatment journeys.
