Money raised for family rooms
A local fast food store has raised almost $7000 to go towards building family rooms at hospitals for families of seriously ill children.
Woy Woy McDonald's raised the money to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities' family rooms program in a recent campaign.
Woy Woy McDonald's licensee Mr John Ursino said that McDonald's was proud to support such a worthy cause.
"I'm really delighted that the Helping Hands fundraiser has always been received so well by the Woy Woy community," Mr Ursino said.
"The Family Room is an important facility that will keep parents and other family members close to their child who is sick or injured in hospital and is designed to help relieve the stress on parents during this difficult time."
The campaign involved staff and customers purchasing Helping Hands for $1 each across the 14 McDonald's restaurants in the Central Coast.
