Honor their memory with a charitable gift.

Few medical crises are more devastating or frightening than a child with a life-threatening disease or an unexpected injury or illness; and few situations place greater stress on parents and families. While tremendous advances have been made in treating seriously ill children, the families’ financial and emotional burdens remain. Ronald McDonald House® Atlantic Canada was created to help ease some of these burdens. Since May 1982, over 25,000 families have stayed with us when they had to travel to Halifax for medical treatment for their child. Families share in the cost of their stay by contributing a nominal fee of $11 per night for their entire family. However, their extensive medical expenses often preclude even this modest amount. We depend upon charitable donations and volunteer support from many individuals, corporations and foundations for our continued existence. On behalf of our families, we are deeply grateful for this support.

The Food Sharing Project is an attempt on the part of interested groups and individuals to ensure that children do not go through their school day hungry.   The Food Sharing Project is an example of an ideal model, as a partnership among the School Boards, the Food Bank and many community groups, businesses, service clubs, and individuals working together to feed children in schools. Approximately 4,200 students are fed daily in about 80 sites in the Limestone District School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. This is done through organized breakfast, lunch and/or hearty snack programs to meet the specific needs of their school communities.
