From giving up presents, to running a marathon, climbing a mountain or selling cakes, there are so many ways for you to make a difference.
When the unthinkable happens and a family is uprooted for their child’s critical medical treatment, there are many barriers they must overcome to stay together. Hotel stays are expensive, siblings need to be cared for, and staying in the hospital long term is unsustainable. That’s where the House comes in—providing accommodation, comfort, compassion, and a sense of community to these families in need.
Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon depends on community supporters like you to give these families a home away from home where they can stay together and focus on what matters most - caring for their child.

Gift a Monthly Birthday Party
$500
Birthdays are a big deal at RMH BC & Yukon, and you can help ensure that they are celebrated in style. Each month we host a birthday party for all the kids celebrating that month (and their family and friends), complete with superhero and Disney princess visits, party games and treats. Your gift will cover the cost of a monthly birthday party and help create a festive atmosphere at the House – complete with balloons, party hats and more!
4 Nights of Comfort
$1,000
Raising $1.000 covers the cost of a 4 night stay for families like the van Dijks, who travel to Vancouver from Prince George several times a year for appointments. The House provides a space where the kids can blow off steam between appointments and where mom, Shoshanna, can connect with other parents that simply understand.
Dinner Together
$1,500
After a long day spent at the hospital, the greatest thing that family can come home to is a warm meal enjoyed together. Your support means that RMH BC can continue to provide fresh meals for everyone at the House. This alleviates many emotional and financial stresses that come with being far from home during the most difficult of times.
Adopt a Family
$2,500
At RMH BC, 10% of families stay more than 30 days while their child receives life-saving medical treatment. Fundraising $2,500 Adopts a Family who is far from home for lengthy treatment, providing a community of support and the familiar comforts of home when they need it most.
