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.

Wellness and Recreation

Here at the House we offer intentional wellness and recreation activities to support the entire family. Siblings, patients, parents, grandparents, and caregivers are encouraged to participate! Our core wellness activities include Music Therapy, Art Therapy, Massage Therapy, and Pet Therapy. Other activities that happen throughout the week might be slime, LEGO Robotics, friendship bracelets, cookie decorating, parents’ ping-pong night, and more! Our wellness and recreation activities aim to give families a little slice of ‘normal’ while they are staying with us.
