About Ronald McDonald House of BC:
Ronald McDonald House British Columbia and Yukon (RMHBC), formally known as The Children’s Family House Society of BC, is designed to provide a home away from home for sick children and their families from across British Columbia and the Yukon. RMHBC is one of 14 Ronald McDonald houses across Canada helping the families of children diagnosed with serious illness or injury when they must travel for their child's treatment. RMHBC reports that 70% of families in Canada live in a city without a children’s hospital.
RMHBC originally opened in Vancouver in 1983 as a 13-bedroom house. In June 2014, a new 73-bedroom house opened on the grounds of the BC Children’s Hospital to provide for the increased demand in services. RMHBC also recently opened a new Ronald McDonald Family Room, including four overnight sleeping rooms, kitchen and laundry facilities and lounge at the Surrey Memorial Hospital, to be a refuge for families and children admitted for treatment. RMHBC reports that the 73-room Ronald McDonald house services approximately 2,000 families each year.
One service provided by Ronald McDonald House British Columbia is the Family Meal Program. Volunteers take the time to prepare home-made meals for families so that they can spend more time with their relative in the hospital.
