Fix Auto B.C. team cooks for families staying at the RMHC

Toronto, Ontario — May 23, 2019 — A Fix Auto B.C. team recently volunteered their time to cook for more than 100 people staying at the Ronald McDonald House B.C. and Yukon located in Vancouver.

RMHC is a charitable organization that provides families of sick children with a home to stay at while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital.

Last month, thirteen members of Fix Auto B.C., including participants from the corporate team and shop owners/staff from Fix Auto Langley and Burnaby South as well as NOVUS Glass Vancouver took part in RMHC’s Home for Dinner event, where they cooked a menu of dishes for the families staying at the house.

“The goal is to relieve the stress and the financial burden of having to prepare supper after attending treatment at the hospital all day, in many cases for months on end,” said Thomas Maple, regional vice president of Fix Automotive Network B.C.

For the Fix Auto team, the most rewarding part is to see the appreciation and smiles on the families faces.

“For the 13 people that came out and volunteered it really drove home a deep gratitude for our loved ones and a reminder not to take our time with them for granted. You see what these families are going through and it was incredible how many people still had smiles on their faces and took the time to genuinely thank us and show their appreciation,” said Maple.

RMHC has been Fix Auto’s national charity partner since 2016, and, according to Maple, the network chose this organization because of its impact on small communities all across the nation.

“The beauty of this house and the RMHC in general is that they provide a vital service for families from smaller communities, many of our Fix Auto locations are in these outlying areas and interact directly with the impacted families,” he said.
