Founded in 1984, Ronald McDonald House Charities Manitoba (RMHM) provides affordable accommodation for families with sick children who must travel to receive medical care at hospitals in Winnipeg. The charity is formally known as the Pediatric Oncology Family Centre of Manitoba inc. RMHM is one of 16 Ronald McDonald House Chapters in Canada that operate 16 Ronald McDonald Houses and 18 Family Rooms across the country. In 2023, RMHM reports serving 292 communities and 1,327 families with its two programs: House and Family Room. In 2023, RMHM spent $1.2m on these programs. RMHM did not provide a spending breakdown for its programs.

House was the majority of program spending. RMHM opened a new Ronald McDonald House in September 2022. The new house increased its square feed from 11,000 to 60,000 and bedrooms from 14 to 40.

The other program costs went toward the Family Room. RMHM’s Family Room is a 3,500-square-foot space inside HSC Children’s Hospital. The Family Room has three bedrooms available for families with the most critical needs.

In 2023, RMHM provided 10,929 nights of accommodation in both its House and Family Room. This is a 103% increase compared to the 5,380 nights of accommodation provided in 2022.
