Ronald McDonald Family Room looking to cook up some care
Coordinators with the Ronald McDonald Family Room are looking to establish a Food Program and are inviting groups to volunteer and prepare home-cooked meals for families of sick children.
The Family Room at the Victoria Hospital is a space offered to those whose children are receiving medical care as an opportunity to rejuvenate themselves while grappling with a stressful time in their lives.
“It is a kind of small home in the Victoria Hospital,” Nadia Balytska, family room coordinator said. “We want to support families as they support their sick kids.”
Since its launch in September 2016, the room has served over 1,500 families and among the top activities observed has been people preparing light meals and snacks.
