How are House operations funded?
It costs $82 to operate each room each night and
families are asked to pay $5 for each night they stay with us. The
gifts of generous donors, as shown below, allow us to make up the
difference between the actual cost of the room and the amount families
can pay.
Complete financial information is available
on Guidestar.org.
Is the Ronald McDonald House expanding?
Can children help the Ronald McDonald
House?
Absolutely! Children can collect wish list

a call or check out our Make A
Difference section for more ideas.

What are Luminaries and how can I be
involved?
The Light A Luminary project is the major
fundraising event for the Ronald McDonald House. Luminaries are
sold in kits and each $5 kit contains 6 white bags, 6 candles and
sand. On December 24, luminaries are
lit and placed in neighborhoods in honor of families who stay at
the Ronald McDonald House. The project is coordinated by the Friends
of the Ronald McDonald House, and 100% of the proceeds directly
benefit the House.
Luminaries are available for purchase year
round at the Ronald McDonald House and can be used for any special
occasion.
