At their Wine & Dinner Tasting event held on May 24 at the London Civic Gardens on Springbank Drive, Lambeth Rotarians ran a ‘Heads & Tails’ fundraiser. The proceeds of the fundraiser all went to support the London Ronald McDonald House on Baseline Road. Although RMH receives a good portion of their funding from McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Limited, more is needed to cover all their needs. The rest comes from community donations and fundraising efforts. They receive no government funding. That is why Lambeth Rotarians decided to dedicate the proceeds of their ‘Heads & Tails’ fundraiser to RMH London.

RMH London provides a welcoming and secure “home-away-from-home” for families living over 40km away who have seriously ill children in need of medical care at a London hospital. A family can stay in one of the 40 private rooms, located steps from Children's Hospital, (which is part of London Health Sciences Centre’s Victoria Hospital). They can stay for as long as their child requires medical care. Families are asked to pay just $10.00 a night but no family is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.
RMH London also relies on dedicated volunteers from our community to prepare meals year-round. This ensures that the 100+ daily guests are nourished and minimizes their physical, mental, and financial stress. RMH is always looking for compassionate individuals to bring comfort to families at Ronald McDonald House London,
One way of helping with meals is to volunteer a group to bake in RMH’s kitchen. Simply gather a group of family, friends or colleagues together, ready to mix RMC’s baking ingredients with love. Some Lambeth Rotarians did just that and met up with Hyde Park Rotarians to help with a day of baking on March 30 (see picture below).
You can book your baking group volunteering experience using RMH London’s online calendar. (www.rmhc-swo.ca)
