No family should have to choose between treating their sick or injured child and the cost of travelling for pediatric care.

Improving care with the Comfort Cart

When leaving your child’s bedside is not an option, even the smallest act of support can make a meaningful difference.

By providing complimentary snacks, drinks, toys, hygiene items, and more everyday essentials, the Comfort Cart brings the comforts of Ronald McDonald House® Alberta directly to families spending long hours at the hospital with their sick or injured child. The Comfort Cart program currently serves the Foothills Medical Centre and Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary, the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, and Lethbridge’s Chinook Regional Hospital. For families navigating daily uncertainty, this simple act of kindness is an important reminder that they are not alone. Made possible by generous donors and dedicated volunteers, the Comfort Cart delivers immediate moments of care where and when families need them most.
