2025 Charity

Ronald McDonald House Charities® Alberta

Families never want or expect to need RMHC® Alberta. Yet one in four Canadians has stayed at a Ronald McDonald House® or knows someone who has.

Over 65% of Canadians live outside of a city with a children's hospital. With four Houses across the province, RMHC® Alberta provides access to healthcare by supporting families who need to travel far from home for their sick child's treatment.

Staying at a Ronald McDonald House® means families can get stronger together.

Learn more at rmhcalberta.org.

RMHC® Alberta's Expansion

Last year, Ronald McDonald House Charities® Alberta served over 1,200 families from 296 communities. Despite these successes, RMHC Alberta is currently only able to meet 14% of the total need for accommodation.

This spring, RMHC Alberta will begin adding 60 more family suites to our Calgary and Edmonton Houses. These additional 120 suites represent thousands of families with sick children that will gain access to RMHC Alberta's comprehensive support networks.

We need your help. Please consider donating today.

Our expansion plans require $80 million in government and community support. Your donation today will enable RMHC® Alberta to take a significant step toward more equitable healthcare access for families that need to travel for hospital care in Alberta.
