New Toys, Games, and Craft Supplies Donated to the House
Friday, September 9, 2011 - 13:52

When McDonald's on the 401 Westbound in Cambridge had to close its doors to make way for a new highway service centre, the employees decided to spend their last months together pitching in for something good. They raised over $4,000 to purchase new toys, games, craft supplies and more for the House!

What's for Dinner?
Monday, June 27, 2011 - 15:44

What's for dinner tonight?  Guest families can turn to the RMH Community Channel - donated by Rogers Cable - on the televisions in their rooms to answer this very question.  The very first dinner back in the House was prepared and served this evening as part of our Dinner at Our House program.

Hillman Kitchen & Bath - a long time participant of the Dinner at Our House program - was the first group to serve dinner in the new House.  Hillman designed and installed the gorgeous new kitchen in conjunction with Pure White Design.  Hillman's participation in the dinner program gave them a unique understanding of the needs of guest families, and Dinner at Our House volunteer groups.

The kitchen is sponsored by Cargill Value Added Meats Canada, who has a number of employee groups that cook meals for our families on a monthly basis.  Heavy duty dishwashers and plenty of durable Cambria countertops will make cooking and serving food for up to 34 families a much easier process.

A kitchen is often the heart of a home - at Ronald McDonald House of Southwestern Ontario, a home cooked meal, prepared by caring volunteers provides one of the many touches that make our House a home.

Welcome Families!
Monday, June 27, 2011 - 15:38

The big day is here!  After years of planning and months of hard work, the House is now open to guest families.  Volunteers greeted our first guest family at 10:00 a.m. this morning.  Several of our many wonderful volunteers will be the first to extend a warm welcome to approximately 20 families over the next two days.

For a night, a week, a month or more - we're so pleased to be able to once again say "welcome home" to our guest families.
