RMH LONDON & FAMILY ROOM
Did you know that nutrition, such as complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats, is essential for sustained cognitive function? It impacts concentration and problem-solving skills and correlates with decision-making and energy levels.
At RMHC-SWO, the essential nutritional needs we must consider daily include those of postpartum mothers, chemotherapy cravings, teenage eating disorders, and grab-and-go high-density nutrition that fits in a caregiver's pocket.
Our families require the energy and clarity to understand medical conversations and make informed bedside decisions when caring for their sick or injured children. Our Meals from the Heart program focuses on giving sick children what they need most—their families at their best.
With the support of our in-house Nutrition & Wellness Team, we'll guide you in creating meals for our families. It’s easy to sign up for your mission experience to help us in Keeping Families Close:

What families and donors are saying...
The Chef and food program here have gone above and beyond, offering nourishing options that support my health and the health of my growing baby. - Past guest family
As someone with celiac disease who prioritizes healthy eating, I was anxious about what food options would be available, but what I found at RMH has been nothing short of a blessing. - Steph
There is no better feeling than giving back. When you can combine your passion for food and feeding families to bring a bit of normalcy to their lives, it's truly rewarding. The meals we prepare provide sustenance and strength to families during some of their most difficult times. Dinner time at RMH also provides fellowship and support. - Nicole, McKenzie Lake Lawyers LLP
