This Friday, we’re cooking up something good with our WA PMO team, who rolled up their sleeves at Ronald McDonald House in Perth to help prepare home-cooked meals for families with ill or injured children.

As part of PFM’s partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities, members of the PMO team in WA recently participated in the RMHC Cooking Experience at Ronald McDonald House in Perth.
Details from RMHC on this initiative are as follows:
“A home cooked meal is often taken for granted and it’s for that reason we set up ‘Home for Dinner’. The program invites you to cook a meal from the heart, for families with ill or injured children who rely on Ronald McDonald House WA.
After a long day of hospital appointments, cooking a meal may be the last thing on a parent’s or carer’s mind. For ten years, we’ve been proud to partner with Mineral Resources (MinRes) who employ 2 chefs, Tommy and Zi, to ensure our families have a nourishing meal at the end of each day. By simply helping Tommy and Zi to prepare a homemade dinner for our families, you can make things a little easier for families at a time when they need it most.
Each year, we will provide 50,000 lovingly home cooked meals for WA families staying across Ronald McDonald House at QEII, Ronald McDonald House on Park and our Parent Accommodation in Perth Children’s Hospital.”
The team thoroughly enjoyed the experience, noting that in addition to it being for a very good cause, it was also a lot of fun to contribute in this way.

The smiles on the photos personify the heart and soul and team spirit of our team, with this experience linked to two of the Work and Smile Whys, namely “For We” (building even further great team spirit and camaraderie) and “For All of Us” with team members feeling part of something bigger and making a contribution to families that really need the support."
Such awesome work, team!! Big thanks to George Reyneke for the write up and the fantastic photos.
