Making a meaningful impact in New Zealand


In the last few years, Crown New Zealand has cultivated a meaningful relationship with the Ronald McDonald Houses of Charity® New Zealand (RMHC NZ), an organization that provides support to families with children requiring hospital care.


In 2023, Crown NZ sponsored rooms at the charity allowing parents to stay with their sick children.


These rooms serve as calm and comfortable sanctuaries where families can relax after spending long days in the hospital ward.


According to RMHC NZ’s Annual Impact Report, Crown New Zealand’s contribution significantly benefited families with sick children who needed hospital treatments in Auckland. We hosted 63 families across New Zealand, providing a total of 193 nights of rest for these families. The longest stay in our sponsored rooms for a family was 18 consecutive nights.


Our dedicated team also actively participated in fundraising and volunteering efforts, which included providing meals for families facing a challenging time.


As part of the House-to-House Challenge, our New Zealand team raised an impressive $3,287.


This challenge involved walking, running, biking, hiking, kayaking, or swimming, and collectively they covered a remarkable distance of 4,060 kilometers, ranking among the top four fundraising teams in the country.


Additionally, the New Zealand team organized a nationwide lunch event to raise funds for the charity. The team, including office and operational staff, contributed from every branch office, preparing a variety of delicious meals, including home-cooked dishes and desserts.


Later in the year, three teams from Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch volunteered for Cook’s Night at the Ronald McDonald Houses. Together, they prepared and served comforting hot meals to young patients and their loving families.
