2. Home for Dinner

Reunite with your loved ones this fall and take part in the ‘Home for Dinner’ initiative to help support families by raising funds for Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon. Home for Dinner invites you to host a Thanksgiving dinner with your bubble in support of 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 side dish to dinner, the scheme encourages you and your guests to make a donation to the cause and contribute to something more meaningful that will ensure families can continue to share moments a lot of us take for granted, like sharing a meal together.
