Our Family Room team delivered breakfast bags for families staying in the NICU this morning including juice, yogurt, cheese sticks, muffins, and apples/oranges. McDonald's Canada coffee coupons were also shared with HSC staff. We hope these little pick-me-ups helped bring comfort to families and staff as they navigate the challenges of childhood illness or support families through it.

Thanks to generous donors, RMHC Manitoba families were surprised with cuddly teddy bears today! We hope they help bring comfort on their healing journey together.

Round Up for RMHC is a new, easy way to support families at McDonald's Canada restaurants! When you visit your local McDonald’s restaurant, ask to Round Up your order to the nearest dollar and support families with sick children in your community, like the Smiths. The physical therapy is working and being here is like his own extra therapy. He is so joyous. Some mornings he just wakes up laughing. #KeepingFamiliesClose
