Repair work on our earthquake-damaged main wing is now well underway, thanks to the hard work of the team from Fletcher Construction.
All going to plan we are hoping to return to full capacity by June this year, allowing us to open our doors to more families.
Thank you for standing by us throughout 2011 - we quite simply could not have done it without you!

Queenstown dines out for the House
Queenstown became host to an evening of simultaneous dinner parties on November 17, in an exclusive mystery dining event that raised nearly $15,000 for Ronald McDonald House South Island.
Supper Club saw a number of the town’s top restaurants open their doors to a table of eight guests for the evening – not only donating their time and expertise, but also the ingredients needed to prepare a three course meal.
Participating guests did not know where they were dining, or who was to be cooking for them, until it was revealed by way of a random draw during a pre-dinner cocktail function at Skyline Queenstown.
Our VIP guests - Dana and Harrison Jenkins, who with Mum Leeanne and Dad Blair, spoke of their time at Ronald McDonald House South Island
Christchurch stands by Ronald McDonald House
For our Christchurch-based supporters, the last few months following the devastation of the February 22 earthquake have not been easy.
However the incredible resilience and determination to reopen their doors is nothing short of inspiring.
We have taken this opportunity to showcase examples of Christchurch businesses that have stood by Ronald McDonald House South Island.
Thank you for helping us to 'chase the clouds away' - your ongoing support is extremely heartening, and we are forever grateful.
