Giving back to the community.
There are many who are less fortunate. It is our responsibility to provide relief where we can.
Ronald McDonald House Sydney
Ronald McDonald House offers a comforting “home away from home” for families with seriously ill children being treated at Sydney Children’s Hospital. With 27 rooms and 4 family units, the House provides free accommodation, home-cooked meals, and support programs, helping families stay close during tough times.
Recently, the MSA team had the privilege of cooking for the families staying at the House, sharing warm meals, conversations, and a little kindness to help lift spirits during this challenging time.
And other charities we have supported over the years.
CEO Sleepout
Every year since 2011, our Managing Director Graham Morgan has taken part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society.
Graham sleeps without shelter on one of the longest nights of the year to help change the lives of Australians experiencing homelessness. With the money Graham raised in 2022, over 100 struggling Australian families received a good meal. An amazing achievement!
Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
