Mission Statement
Keeping families close. We support Maritime families traveling more than 40km for their child’s medical care, regardless of their diagnosis, income, or length of stay. Individuals experiencing high-risk pregnancies are also eligible to stay.
About This Cause
Since opening our doors in Halifax in May 1982, Ronald McDonald House Charities Atlantic has helped an estimated 28,000 families that have stayed with us when they had to travel to Halifax for medical treatment. Ronald McDonald House Charities Atlantic helps keep families close to each other, and the care they need, when they need it most. Our programs include the Ronald McDonald House, a "home-away-from-home" for out-of-town families with sick children, and two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, places of calm and support inside the walls of the IWK and Moncton hospitals. In April 2025 we opened our new Ronald McDonald House, directly across from the IWK Health Centre and doubled our capacity from 18 rooms to 36 rooms. We will serve over 1,400 Maritime families a year at our new location. We charge a nominal fee of $15 per night to stay at the House; no family is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.
