Ronald McDonald House Building Appeal.....building underway - progress report soon.....

Hands to build a house…hearts to build a home

The Ronald McDonald House Building Appeal has been established to raise $4 million for a new development designed to compliment our current facility. Presently, our House is limited to providing motel-style accommodation with communal living areas for only ten families at a time.

The new facility will house an additional ten families in individual, self-contained units, providing greater stability to long-stay families who are suffering enormous emotional and financial strain.

The new development, located at 270 Melbourne Street, North Adelaide directly opposite our current facility will include:

o    8 two-bedroom apartments and 2 cottages each with private bathroom, kitchen, dining and living space, and outdoor area.
o    An outdoor playground inclusive of a bike track
o    A Peace garden for private, quiet meditation
o    A gym with equipment to allow for stress release.

The apartments are designed to be “green”, including double glazing of glass panels, roof overhangs, storage of rain water, solar roof panels for hot water heating and for power generation.
