The House offered so
much to our family. We
appreciated the rooms,
showers, food, and the shared
laughter with other families.

SOCIAL MEDIA:
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
Ronald McDonald House Charities of
Greater Delaware (“RMHC Greater
Delaware”or “RMHCGDE”) serves families
with seriously ill children by enabling access
to medical care and providing a place that
offers comfort, hope, and togetherness.
RMHCGDE’s programs and support services
include our 50-bedroom Ronald McDonald
House, two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms,
and two hospitality cart programs.
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 fl exibility
to help with a variety of tasks. Individual opportunities are available for students
and adults at the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Rooms,

work, and cleaning projects. This year, we launched an exciting new volunteer
opportunity to prepare meals through our Spoonful of Hope Chef-Led Meal
Program. 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.
