Volunteerism takes many forms.

At the centre are 382 active volunteers who show up across the House …and seven Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms — week after week, creating the conditions families rely on.

It’s the 973 volunteers who prepared and served meals through Meals from the Heart.
It’s Board and committee members guiding the organization.
It’s community groups organizing fundraisers.
It’s someone collecting supplies to make a space feel like home.

Some show up every week.
Some show up once — and make a lasting impact.

Together, this is what it means to support families at Ronald McDonald House Toronto. Thank you.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved — this is your moment.

382 volunteers.
24,000 hours.
More than $650,000 in contributed value.

But that’s only …part of the story.

What Ronald McDonald House Toronto volunteers really create can’t be measured in hours:
💛 Time for a caregiver to rest
💛 A meal after a long hospital day
💛 A space to stay together

At Ronald McDonald House Toronto, volunteerism isn’t extra.
It’s essential to how care happens.

Most people would never notice it.

A meal already prepared.
A room quietly reset.
A familiar… face at the front desk in our Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms and at our House.

But if it wasn’t there — families would feel it immediately.

At Ronald McDonald House Toronto, this is what volunteers make possible every day.

Not just support.
A system of care that helps families stay close — together.

The World Cup excitement is buzzing at the House!

Thanks to canadasoccer, our families were treated… to a special preview of the incredible energy and excitement of watching the Canadian Men’s National Soccer Team compete at their home games at BMO Field.

Moments like this are only possible because of the generosity and support of our community. As you can see from Ivan’s excitement, programming and special experiences beyond hospital walls give families the chance to pause, connect, and enjoy something truly special together during an otherwise challenging time.

Thank you for helping us create memories that mean so much. Lots more fwc26toronto and fifaworldcup excitement to come — stay tuned!

As we look ahead to McHappy Day on May 6, we’re reminded that staying together can change everything. …💛

When the Canonigo family arrived at Ronald McDonald House Toronto, they weren’t thinking beyond the immediate need for a place to stay while their daughter was first diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma. What they found was a safe space, compassion, and community. Together, as a family.

“My kids would have been separated from school, from each other, and from me,” she says. “Here, we can stay together. We feel safe, supported, and included.”

On May 6, you can help make that kind of support possible for families like the Canonigos. On McHappy Day, a portion of proceeds from every mcdonaldscanada order all day adds up — whether you’re ordering your favourite items, rounding up your order, or purchasing McHappy Day socks. Every action helps support families staying at Ronald McDonald House Toronto through an unimaginable time.

At Ronald McDonald House Toronto, caring for the whole family is essential.

When a child is …navigating complex medical care, the journey affects everyone — especially siblings. Far from home and surrounded by unfamiliar routines, they’re balancing emotions, school, and daily life while supporting their sibling.

Kriszella, whose daughter Kursten is receiving treatment for Ewing sarcoma, shares what that separation feels like:

“She would say, ‘I miss my brothers. I want to be with them.’ And being able to stay together… means so much.”

That’s why creating space for normalcy matters. From making new friends, attending school, and joining programs like woodworking, to simply spending time together — these moments help siblings feel supported, connected, and cared for.

Family stays and grows stronger together.
