RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES

DONATE FROM WED 27 AUGUST – FRI 12 SEPTEMBER

 
We’re passionate about using our platform for good. That is why we’re partnering with Ronald McDonald House to give back to families of seriously ill children. When a child is ill or injured, it affects the entire family. Everyday life is disrupted. That’s why Ronald McDonald House provide various programs to help families stay together during every stage of a child’s illness and recovery.
 
The ask is simple – just any household or pantry items. This might be canned food, muesli bars, longlife milk or detergent, nappy bags and bin liners. Other suggestions would be children’s toys or craft supplies. Nothing is too small and everything helps.
 
If you have anything you’d like to donate, please bring it to the donation bins located in the foyer of the Hills Basketball Stadium.
 
Thank you Hornets Community!
