Meal Supplies During COVID-19

COVID-19 adaptations to our meal service means that we’re pre-packaging hundreds of meals daily, and we have a steady need for meal containers.  You can help keep meals going by ordering these very necessary items to ship to our House.

Snacks and Breakfast To-Go Items

Some families may miss our scheduled meal times and need a snack to tide them over. These snacks and breakfast items help them maintain their strength for whatever the day may bring. Please help us keep plenty of to-go options  available for our families.

Day Visitor Bags

Our Ronald McDonald House serves families with children in local hospitals who do not have a room with us. Our day visitor bags provide them with the comforts of home while they stay near their child’s side. Please give these families a boost by collecting useful and comforting items for different needs.
