Our House provides everything families need so they can focus on the healing process
including food, hygiene products, toys for children, books, educational materials for youth and new parents, clean clothing, play spaces, support services and private living spaces. We are grateful that we can offer our home away from home and services to hundreds of families each year. It is because of caring individuals and organizations like you that we are able to provide this high level of care.
We need Volunteers to help support our mission through fundraising
Join us at Blackthorn Club on September 29 for this annual fundraiser so we can share our House’s Mission with attendees and help raise more than last year. All funds raised will support families with children in medical care within our Ronald McDonald House and after they go home. Our programs help young patients cope with the stress of surgeries and interventions in the hospital and more. Help us provide what children need so they can focus on being a kid instead of being a patient. We have multiple shifts available and gifts for volunteers. Sign up below.
