ISSUE 51 — FEB 2020
A lunch that goes a long way For the families who need to stay at the Ronald McDonald House over the Christmas period, a special Christmas lunch goes a long way. A feast for the families was put on with donated turkey and an assortment of vegetables supplied by businesses from the Melbourne Market. The lunch was an effort to make the day special for those who could not be at home celebrating. House Manager, Kylie Neve said “the Christmas lunch gives patients one day of normality. When patients and families have to stay at the hospital over the Christmas period, the lunch gives them a feeling of being back at home. We’re not always guaranteed a donation of fruit and veg so it was a great addition to the Christmas table.” 6
Donating any fruit, vegetables and meat is enormous help to the families at the Ronald McDonald house. “After a day of operations, the last thing parents are thinking about is dinner,” said Kylie. Thank you to Independent Fresh Produce, Farmers Fresh Produce, Fresh Berry Co., M. & N. Fresh Produce, Prestige Produce and LaManna Premier Group for donating a selection of vegetables to the Ronald McDonald House and making Christmas a special time for all the families. If you would like to donate, please contact Kylie at kylieneve@rmhc.org.au.
