Board Chair
The Ronald McDonald House provides a “home-away-from-home” for families of seriously ill children who need a place to stay while their child receives treatment at an area hospital. A family may stay at our House whether the child is hospitalized or receiving outpatient treatment. RMHCGDE also operates two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in Delaware, located in the Women and Children’s Center at Christiana Care’s Newark Campus and in Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Monetary donations help defray our operating costs. Families are asked
to contribute $15 a night but many can’t afford this amount. Your monetary donation will help keep our doors open for families who need us most. Donations of items from our Wish List keep our House, Family Rooms,
and Hospitality Carts supplied with items such as snacks, cleaning products, sheets, towels, and more.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We are looking for volunteers with a passion for our mission and the flexibility to help with a variety of tasks. Individual opportunities are available for students and adults at the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald
Family Rooms, and offsite. Group volunteers can help with projects like preparing meals, yard work, and cleaning projects. We are especially in need of volunteer groups to prepare dinner for families. To request more information about volunteer opportunities, please contact volunteer@rmhcdelaware.org
or Sara Funaiock, Volunteer Manager, at (302) 428-5340. You may also learn more on our website.

When we left the hospital every night to come back to the House and saw the volunteers who asked us how we were doing... it was that feeling of home
