Ronald Mcdonald House Alberta Society

Ronald mcdonald house charities alberta supports families seeking vital medical treatment for their seriously ill or injured child. Our warm compassionate house provide a home-away-from-home for families who need to travel for medical reasons. When those families are experiencing one of the most difficult times of their lives – we offer them comfort in being able to stay together. Since the first houses were built in alberta in 1985 we have supported tens of thousands of families. Every year thousands will stay at one of alberta’s ronald mcdonald houses. These stays can be a couple of nights or can last for weeks or months at a time. Each ronald mcdonald house has family suites for families to rest. The houses have open kitchens where a family can sit down and share a homemade meal together alongside other families going through similar experiences. The sense of community enables families to rely on one another when they need it most. A ronald mcdonald house saves families hundreds to thousands of dollars on accommodation transportation meals laundry and much more each year. Having a ronald mcdonald house close to the hospital is an important element of family-centered care. Ronald mcdonald house charities alberta relies on the support of volunteers to help execute programming services and events for more information please visit www.rmhcalberta.org
