Lactalis Australia has had a long running association with Ronald McDonald house, supporting the organization through our annual Charity Golf Day.

Like our association with St Vinnies, the relationship began not at a corporate level, but via the energy and enthusiasm of a couple of Lactalis Australia team members – Karen Abell and Andrew Lynch. Ronald McDonald House had been planning to invest in a large commercial refrigerator where families living in the house could store their food. However Karen and Andrew went a step further, rallying the support of Lactalis Australia’s generous suppliers to design, fund, and install a purpose built cold room facility.

That was more than five years ago. Since that initial involvement, Lactalis Australia , through the Golf Day program, has donated well in excess of $400,000, helping RMC provide for and support families whose lives have been upended by cancer.

“We’re enormously proud of our partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities” Lactalis Australia CEO, Rod Walden said. “Through event fundraisers like our annual golf day, and our refrigeration and product support to the RMH kitchens, we know our support makes a difference in the lives and stories of families who fight heartbreaking battles many of us know nothing about”.
