McDonald's McHappy Day to support sick children and their families is tomorrow

Support sick kids and their families tomorrow during McHappy Day.

Purchase any item on McDonald’s menu tomorrow and a portion of proceeds will go to fund the important work of Ronald McDonald House Charities.

RMHC CEO, Wendy Galagan, provides details about their growth here in Manitoba.

“We opened our new house in September of 2022 and we grew from 14 bedrooms to 40, from 11 thousand square feet to 60 thousand square feet and that was really in response to the needs of Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario and surrounding areas.”

In 2023, RMHC supported 1327 families and provided almost 11-thousand nights of accommodation.

These families came from over 292 communities in Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario and beyond.

RMHC saved families over $3.4 million in out-of-pocket expenses as they provide accommodations, meals, transportation, parking, and other day-to-day essentials.
