Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House eases the stress of families from around the world with critically ill children by providing them with all the comforts of home. Their days at the hospital are long and trying, but YOU can help give them energy by allowing them to fill up a bag of snacks at our snack station!
Fill our snack station:
Help our guest families fill bags with their favorite snacks. Bring snacks (either from the list below or your favorite items) and paper bags to our House. Please feel free to decorate your bags! We will put your bags and donated items out for our families to fill on their way to their appointments. Visit our House any day between 9 AM and 9 PM to deliver your items. If you would like a tour when you visit, please call 513.559.4600 to set this up before you arrive.
*Please note: We are unable to accept expired items. Also, our guest families also greatly appreciate snacks that are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, low-FODMOP (fermentable oligo-, di-, mono- saccharides and polyols.) etc.
