When a child is sick, their family should be by their side. Your gift makes that happen.
When you give $95, you give a family one night together.
When you make a monthly gift, you’ll guarantee that more families can stay together during their greatest time of need.
Our Houses and Family Rooms are just like your home – we need the basics and more to comfort and support families.
You can make an extraordinary difference with ordinary, everyday items to keep our Houses running and help families feel at home.
Buy a Brick
Buying a brick is a perfect way to commemorate a loved one, honor a memory, offer thanks, and help those in need find the path toward healing.
Host a Fundraiser
Bake sales, peer-to-peer fundraisers, 5Ks, wish list drives, store promotions – if you want to engage your community, we can help you make it happen.
Donate a Vehicle
Your used car, truck, or boat could provide hundreds or thousands of dollars to help more families get better together. Donating is easy and the pick-up is free.
Your donation helps to fund all of our Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room, and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile programs.
Your gift provides meals for families and covers their stay so they can focus on what matters most: their children. When you donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana, you fund hope.
One question we often receive is, “Why do you need donations? Doesn’t McDonald’s fund the Charity?”
While McDonald’s and its local owner/operators are an important corporate partner, no one company funds our programs entirely. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, we rely on the support of the entire community and greatly value all donations.
