“Home for Dinner” for Ronald McDonald House

Nothing brings families together like a nourishing, home-cooked meal – and that’s why Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon is launching “Home for Dinner” in support of families whose time, energy and funds are being channelled towards life-saving medical treatment for their children.

What is “Home for Dinner”?

Home for Dinner is a community fundraising initiative, which encourages locals to embrace the tradition of connecting with family around the dinner table by hosting a dining event in their home, or at their favourite restaurant.  Hosts who cook a meal can suggest guests forego bringing wine or hostess gifts and instead contribute a donation.  Those who choose to implement “Home for Dinner” at a restaurant can treat their nearest and dearest to a decadent meal and request guests donate funds as a thank-you for their generosity.
