Flour supplier of choice to New Zealand, Champion Flour Milling, announces its partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) New Zealand as part of its new community partner program.
Commencing this month, Champion will Sponsor a Room at Auckland Domain House, which will go towards its continued running and hosting of families while their child is in hospital. Throughout the year, Champion employees will also regularly participate in Team Cook Nights, cooking an evening meal for families who have spent a long day at the hospital. Champion will also provide quarterly flour donations.
A ribbon cutting at RMHC Auckland Domain House marked the partnership. Champion Flour Milling Country Manager Chris Anderson said Champion was delighted to partner with RMHC NZ as their work strongly resonates with Champion’s tight-knit team.
“RMHC gives families with a hospitalised child what they need most - each other,” said Anderson.
The opportunity to Sponsor a Room and provide a haven at some of the most difficult times in their lives is one Champion is pleased to commit to.
“Our teams also look forward to volunteering their time as part of the partnership.”
“We are thrilled that the team at Champion has chosen RMHC NZ as a charity partner. Their generous support will help us continue caring for the practical things in life so that families can focus on their child staying in the hospital away from home,” said RMHC NZ CEO Wayne Howett.
In 2022, RMHC NZ provided 35,004 nights of accommodation and support free of charge to families at its facilities throughout New Zealand. It was the busiest year since the first New Zealand opening 31 years ago.
