Pantry Pals

Practical support that makes our House a home

Fill our pantries with essentials and comfort

Every day, families staying at Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney head into the kitchen looking for something simple: a quick breakfast, a snack after long hours at the hospital, or ingredients for a meal that will remind them of home.

By becoming a Pantry Pal, you will fill our pantries with more than essentials; you’ll fill them with care and relief.

Our Pantry Pals program allows families to prepare their own snacks and meals anytime, complementing our Meals from the Heart program that provides home-cooked dinners throughout the week.

For a $2,000 annual business or personal donation, your generosity will be recognised with a personalised plaque on the pantry door in our communal kitchens. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate your business, honour a loved one, or simply show families doing it tough that the community is thinking of them.

Why your support matters

When parents and caregivers are focused on their child’s treatment, food is sometimes the last thing on their minds. Your contribution will provide:

  • Free pantry staples for families staying with us, so there is always something to nourish them
  • A welcoming, well-stocked kitchen that enables them to prepare meals that remind them of home when they feel like it
  • Daily moments of comfort during the most stressful times of their lives

 

Families tell us that our communal kitchens help them find some normalcy, both in the act of preparing meals and the food they make. As a Pantry Pal, you make these small but powerful moments possible, helping to make Ronald McDonald House Westmead truly a home away from home.

Make a Difference for Families & Children

Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. With your help, we can support them throughout their journey.
