Ronald McDonald House Westmead

      

Ronald McDonald House Westmead is built on the simple belief that when a child is seriously ill, nothing should stand in the way of their family being there to support them. The House provides a safe haven, where there’s no need to worry about where they can afford to stay, when and where they will have their next meal, or where they will lay their heads at night.

The House relies on corporate and community support to raise the necessary funds to continue providing a “home away from home” for families who travel hundreds of kilometres, sometimes even interstate, for their child’s vital hospital treatment. The House lets families support each other, and draw comfort from staff, volunteers, and other families.

The Salvation Army

      

Twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year, The Salvation Army provides care and support to Australians in need. In fact, it’s what they've done for over 130 years.

The goal of The Salvation Army is to be community builders, not just service providers. Because that's what The Salvation Army is – a community of people fighting injustice, without discrimination.
 
You can find The Salvation Army in city streets, on rural farms and in suburban centres. With your support, their people are on the ground day and night, giving hope where it’s needed most.
