Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central Illinois uses many items on an ongoing basis to keep our House running smoothly. We rely on donations to maintain the supplies that help make our families comfortable in their home away from home.
“The House took a huge pressure off of us. It really is amazing how they accommodate for everything you need in the House. It really hits you what you really need when this happens to you,” – Family member
Our houses are just like your home – we need the basics and more to help comfort and support families.
You can really make an
extraordinary difference with ordinary everyday items to keep the house running and making it feel like home.
** PLEASE NOTE: Due to health concerns, we cannot accept used items of any kind. Thank you for understanding!
