The Ronald McDonald House is just like your house, except we can have a total of up to 46 families staying with us! The items on our Wish List are what keep our kitchens stocked, facilities clean, and our Houses operating at full potential. Having a well-stocked home full of amenities truly makes our House programs a “home-away-from-home” for our families.
You can host a Wish List Drive at your school, church, or among family and friends and collect items that our families use daily. Encourage peers to bring Wish List items to upcoming birthdays, celebrations, meetings, or host a Wish List Drive to collect as many items as possible.
The next time you are at the grocery store or a wholesale club (or even shopping on Amazon!), pick up a few items and drop them off at the Houses between 8 AM and 6 PM every day. Whether it’s a truckload or just a small bag, these items are what keep our House programs going strong!

One way we welcome guests is by providing Comfort Bags. For example, new moms receive NICU Comfort Bags containing items such as lip balm, pads, and cozy socks. Children checking in often receive a toy, blanket, and book to help them feel at home. Your group can make a meaningful impact by gathering items and assembling care packages for families.
Please reach out to learn what we’re currently in need of—or check out our frequently updated Comfort Bags wish list on Amazon!
