Home for dinner

Home for Dinner

This fall, reunite with your loved ones to celebrate the tradition of sharing a meal together while supporting families by raising funds for Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon.

Families who stay at RMH BC often have compromised immune systems, so keeping safe and isolating is nothing new for them. For our families, sharing a meal with loved ones in the safety and comfort of the House is a gift that you can help provide by participating in Home for Dinner.

About Home for Dinner

Home for Dinner invites you to host an intimate dining event with your inner bubble in support of the families who have found a home away from home at RMH BC while their child receives life-saving medical treatment.

Instead of bringing a bottle of wine or a dish, your guests can contribute something even more meaningful to your dinner: a donation that will ensure that families with sick children can continue to share everyday moments – like eating a home-cooked meal together – when it matters most.

KAMA’S FAMILY HOME FOR DINNER: "My family and I happily hosted a Home for Dinner event, just as one of my friends happened to be staying at Ronald McDonald House BC with her daughter. We loved being able to contribute with the simple act of cooking and eating a family meal together. It was a great way to make memories together and give back to the cause we care about – a feel-good experience."

ERIN AND JASON'S OKTOBERFEST FEAST: “We recently hosted a Home for Dinner event. It was easy to combine a dinner party with friends and collect money for RMH BC. We had friends come enjoy an Oktoberfest feast including homemade pretzels, Jason’s home brew beer selections, and our guests brought donations in lieu of a bottle of wine or hostess gift. It was a great night and we raised $250!”

MICHELE'S HOME FOR DINNER GARDEN PARTY: “This August, I had the honour of hosting a dinner party in support of Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon. It felt so good to bring awareness to a campaign that helps hundreds of families each year. I kept it easy by ordering in dinner and bringing my community of good friends together to share in laughter, good food and a summer night to remember. I know that if I was able to support even one family through an extremely difficult time, it was SO worth it.”
