Treat families to an evening of gourmet dining.
Between hospital visits and the emotional weight of caring for an ill or injured child, families rarely have the time, disposition, or means to indulge in something special.
That’s why we created Heart to Table, our fine-dining group volunteering experience. This unique program offers families a much-needed break from the realities of childhood illness, transforming an ordinary evening into something memorable.
Together, we bring a restaurant-style experience to families staying at Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Westmead. Your group will take orders from a curated menu and serve each course with care, creating an atmosphere of warmth, dignity, and enjoyment.
The joy this experience brings is lasting, not only for families but for the teams who share it with them.
When families are constantly in and out of the hospital for treatments and appointments, mealtimes often fall to the bottom of the priority list.
You’re offering more than just nourishment by offering a thoughtfully prepared dining experience; you’re easing the emotional and mental load that comes with caring for an ill or injured child.
It’s one less thing for families to worry about, and one more way they feel supported.

Menu
A delectable three-course meal
Your Heart to Table experience will begin with a warm welcome and a guided tour of Ronald McDonald House Greater Western Sydney Westmead. After your five-star service, your group will have the opportunity to share a meal with families – a chance to connect and see the impact of your generosity firsthand.
Our meal programs are only possible because of the generosity of organisations and groups. Your involvement directly helps us continue providing comfort, care, and practical support to families during one of the most challenging times in their lives.
The booking fee is a tax-deductible donation that will help us achieve our ambitious goal of increasing our meal services by 70%. This will allow us to provide at least one nutritious meal per day, not only to families staying at the House, but throughout the entire Westmead Health Precinct.
Simply register by selecting your preferred date via the calendar below, and we will be in touch. For more information, call (02) 9806 7111, email [email protected], or fill in the enquiry form below.
