Christmas Group Volunteering
This Christmas, give your team more than a party.
Bring your team together for a hands-on volunteering experience.
From cooking and baking, to packing Christmas surprises and becoming Santa’s elves for the day, it’s a meaningful way to celebrate the year together while making Christmas a little brighter for families with ill or injured children.
Christmas volunteering spots are limited and fill quickly.
Give back as a team this Christmas
For families with an ill or injured child, Christmas can look very different.
Some will spend the festive season away from home, staying close to hospital and their child’s care.
At Ronald McDonald House, we surround families with the community and support they need to stay at the heart of their child’s care. Our Houses provide more than a room, they offer rest, warmth, a hot meal, a shoulder and something that feels normal when nothing else does.
And sometimes, small acts of care can feel like a warm hug.
This Christmas, your team can be part of them.
How your team can help this Christmas
Choose from a range of festive, hands-on experiences designed to bring your team together while making Christmas a little brighter for families staying with us.

More than a Christmas Party
Step away from the office, roll up your sleeves and spend time doing something meaningful together.
Whether you’re cooking, baking, decorating or packing Christmas surprises, it’s a chance to connect with your colleagues outside the usual work environment while helping families staying close to their child’s care.
Your team will also have the opportunity to learn more about Ronald McDonald House and understand the difference your support can make for families.
“The sense of pride we had was overwhelming... it brought us closer together as a team.”
Small acts of care make a big difference
When a child is in hospital, being together matters.
Our Houses give families somewhere to stay close to their child’s care, with private rooms, shared kitchens, meals and spaces where families can rest, reconnect and spend time together.
At Christmas, those everyday comforts can mean even more.
Whether your team prepares a meal, bakes a festive treat, packs a Christmas surprise or helps transform a House for the season, you’re helping create moments of care, comfort and joy for families when they need them most.
Celebrate everything your team has achieved this year by doing something that feels good, and does good.
Bring your team together. Give back. Help make our Houses feel like home for the holidays.
Ronald McDonald House would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands, skies and waterways on which we work. We recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples amongst the families we care for, our employees, volunteers and supporters, who form part of the oldest continuous living culture on Earth. We pay our respects to them and their Elders past and present.
