About RMHC® Atlantic:
Ronald McDonald House Charities® Atlantic helps families with sick children stay 
together and near the medical care they need. 
Our programs include Ronald McDonald House® in Halifax, a “home-away-fromhome” for out-of-town families with sick children, and Ronald McDonald Family 
Rooms® in Halifax and Moncton, which provide an oasis of calm and support inside the 
hospital. Each year, we help more than 2,000 families from across the 
Maritimes through our House & Family Rooms. 
RMHC Atlantic is a non-profit organization. We depend upon charitable 
donations and volunteer support from many individuals, corporations and foundations
to fulfill our mission. We are also sincerely grateful for the support of 
our founding and forever partner, McDonald’s
For more information on our organization and the excitement surrounding the 
upcoming construction of our new House, visitrmhcatlantic.ca.
Our history:
Since opening our doors in Halifax in 1982, RMHC Atlantic has helped more than 28,000 
families that have stayed with us when they had to travel to Halifax for medical 
treatment. Our House is one of 16 Houses across Canada and one of more than 380 
around the world.
In 2007, we opened the first Ronald McDonald Family Room in Canada at the IWK Health 
Centre, and in 2011 we opened a second Family Room at The Moncton Hospital. 
Working with us
RMHC Atlantic is committed to fostering a collegial culture grounded in diversity and 
inclusiveness. We encourage applications from Indigenous persons, persons with a 
disability, racially visible persons, women, persons of a minority sexual orientation and/or 
gender identity, and all candidates who contribute to the diversity of our community. 
We select the best employees and volunteers based on their qualifications, skills, 
knowledge and commitment. RMHC Atlantic also recognizes that candidates may 
request accommodations to participate or perform to the best of their abilities. As per 
regional labour standards and national human rights guidelines, reasonable workplace 
accommodations and adjustments will be granted.
We’re making More Room For Love!
We’re proud to support approximately 600 Maritime families each year. 
Unfortunately, in recent years, we’ve had to turn away hundreds of families who 
came to us for help—and the demand continues to increase. 
Without a place to stay, families face being apart from one another at a time when
their love and presence is so vital. While we have made some changes to our current 
space, we are limited in how we’re able to modify the physical infrastructure to 
adequately address these important concerns. 
Construction is now underway on a larger, more modern facility that will enable us
to serve an additional 600 families per year, and offer 6,570 more nights of comfort 
for families with sick children.
