offers comfort, hope, and togetherness.
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
The Ronald McDonald House of Delaware provides accommodations for families of seriously or chronically ill or injured children receiving treatment at area hospitals. The House offers nurturing and supportive environments where families can stay together and find comfort. Since our doors opened in June 1991, we have welcomed over 49,000 families.
Through our Ronald McDonald Family Room Program, located in two Delaware hospitals, we provide a place of respite within hospital walls which allow parents and guardians to stay near their children.
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 supplied with items such as snacks, cleaning products, sheets, towels, and more.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Although this year our in-person volunteer opportunities are limited due to COVID-19 restrictions, there are many ways to get involved while keeping our guest families safe and healthy. Please visit our website at rmhde.org for updates on volunteer opportunities or contact Volunteer Manager
Sara Funaiock directly at s.funaiock@rmhde.org.
