Ronald McDonald House Seeks Donations, Volunteers to Continue Family Services
When families travel to Omaha for their child’s medical care, they need the little things to get through it. A hot cup of coffee in the morning. The smell of clean laundry. The feeling of a fresh haircut. They can find them at Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC, www.rmhcomaha.org) in Omaha: Where the little things make the biggest difference.
As a support arm of Omaha-area hospitals, RMHC provides 40 family guest rooms and more than 14,600 lodging nights annually inclusive of warm beds, hot showers, meals, laundry facilities, family-friendly kitchens, playrooms, and a playground—all the basic essentials of home. To continue to provide these services throughout 2022 to children and their families, RMHC is asking for the community to donate at rmhcomaha.org/donate. They are also seeking volunteers to help in offering these services, so if you may be interested in helping RMHC fulfill their mission, visit rmhcomaha.org/get-involved/volunteer to learn more.
Ronald McDonald House Charities creates and operates programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. RMHC also provides wrap-around services delivered by community partners such as a hair salon, financial support, educational programming, mindfulness and yoga, birthday celebrations, a House therapy dog, as well as healing through the arts. The cost to provide their services is approximately $120 per night, per family. Families are asked to donate $20 per night, but no family is ever turned away due to an inability to contribute.
