Ronald McDonald House® Canada  

Families are at the heart of who we are and what we do at McDonald’s Canada. ​

Ronald McDonald House programs across Canada surround families with the care, support and resources they need – including meals, mental health and well-being programs, and a community of support – so they can be at the heart of their child’s care, enabling the best possible health outcomes.​

As The Founding & Forever Partner to Ronald McDonald House, McDonald’s Canada, our independent franchisees, restaurant teams and guests are proud to support families with children who are sick or injured staying with Ronald McDonald House across Canada. 

Supporting Families Across Canada

For more than 40 years, Ronald McDonald House program locations across Canada have supported nearly half a million families with children who are sick or injured by surrounding them with the compassionate care and resources they need to be at the heart of their child’s medical care. 

16 Ronald McDonald House® Programs  

Ronald McDonald House programs give families a place to stay together with access to the essential support & resources they need to focus on what matters most – caring for their sick child.  

20 Ronald McDonald House Family Room® Programs  

Ronald McDonald House Family Room programs give families a space to rest & recharge inside the hospital, steps away from their child’s bedside.  

Every 18 minutes, a family arrives on the doorsteps of a Ronald McDonald House. And yet, Ronald McDonald House is unable to support up to 4 out of 5 families who need a House program due to lack of space or no available program location. This means thousands of families could face significant hardship during an already challenging time¹. 

Families need Ronald McDonald House, and you can make a meaningful difference by visiting your local McDonald's restaurant.
