If you’ve purchased a Happy Meal over the last 20 years, you’ve helped raise more than $100 million for RMHC across Canada. Your support has meaningfully contributed towards essential programming and infrastructure that supports the holistic wellbeing of families with sick children. Thanks to you, we have 100 million reasons to celebrate. Thanks for your continued support of RMHC across Canada!

RMHC across Canada is committed to meeting the growing and evolving needs of the communities it proudly serves. Yesterday, we celebrated the opening of the 19th RMHC Family Room program in Canada.  We're proud to share that Ronald McDonald House Charities South Central Ontario, in partnership with Niagara Health, has opened a new Family Room at the Marotta Family Hospital in St. Catharine! This new space will provide families a non-medical environment right within the hospital walls where they can rest, nourish, and find a moment of respite so they can focus on what matters most; caring for their sick child.    Congratulations Ronald McDonald House Charities South Central Ontario and Niagara Health!

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Cargill for their incredible support through the inaugural FORE! The Houses (Winnipeg) and the 19th Annual FORE! The Houses (London) Golf Tournaments! Together, these events raised an astounding $574,720 for families with sick or injured children who count on RMHC programs and services across Canada, enabling more than 2,435 nights of stay. FORE! The Houses is a powerful testament to Cargill’s unwavering commitment to enriching communities and making a meaningful difference in the lives of families across the country. Thank you, Cargill, for your leadership, dedication, care, and continued support of RMHC.

Earlier this week, we celebrated a meaningful milestone, as RMHC Atlantic moved one step closer to serving even more families with sick children from across the Maritimes. Heartfelt congratulations to Lori Barker and the entire team who made this special day possible. Thank you, Sean Fraser, Andy Fillmore, Heath MacDonald, and Honourable Lena Metlege Diab,QC for supporting families through your investment in a beautiful new Ronald McDonald House in Halifax, opening soon!

Thanks to you and your support on McHappy Day, McDonald’s and their guests raised more than $8.9 million dollars for RMHC and other local children’s charities. These critical funds allow RMHC across Canada to continue providing critical support so that families can focus on what matters most: their sick child.

Thank you to Members of Parliament The Honourable David J. McGuinty, P.C., M.P. and Karen Vecchio and many other MPs from across Canada who helped to mark the occasion of the 30th #McHappyDay yesterday at Parliament Hill. Thank you for your strong and continued support of the essential service RMHC provides families across Canada.

🎉 Today, May 8, is McHappy Day!! 🎉 Today, you can be a hero! That’s because a portion of proceeds from every menu item sold all day at McDonald's in Canada supports RMHC and families with sick children across Canada. Order through the McDonald’s app, in restaurant, at the drive-thru, or through McDelivery to do some good for families in your community! #KeepingFamiliesClose

It was great to welcome the Hon. Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development of Canada to the Ronald McDonald House in Toronto. We appreciated the opportunity to walk her and her team through the House’s facilities and showcase the many programs that truly make a Ronald McDonald House feel like home for so many families.  Kate Horton Tania (Tova) L.
