PLAN YOUR TRIP
Get Ready for the Warmest Welcome
We do our best to make it easy to feel right at home as soon as your family sets foot in our door. When you arrive, one of our Family Services Team will be here to help you get settled in, guiding you every step of the way. We will contact you prior to arrival and coordinate your check-in time. Each room has storage, towels—everything you need to get comfortable. We also offer in-kitchen storage areas in the fridge, freezers and cabinets.

The Save-On-Foods Pantry Program
Every week, Save-On-Foods donates grocery items to help supplement your groceries and cover those days when you aren’t able to get to the store. Donated grocery items include frozen meals and staples such as pasta, rice, cereal and spices. Your assigned kitchen will have pantry items available for all to share.
Programs with a Purpose
Family Meal Program
Families staying at Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon have a lot on their plate. Thankfully, we have plenty of amazing volunteers who come in a few days a week to prepare plates of delicious dinner for everyone staying in the house.
Family Activity Program
Families have fun here, thanks to the exciting activities that are always happening. We have crafts, games, entertainment. We even have yoga and music programs if you want to stretch out or jam out. Getting out of the house is a big part of having fun too, and thanks to our many generous donors, tickets to family-friendly events around Vancouver are often up for grabs.
