These programs allow volunteers to prepare bags in their own setting, and drop them off at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House at whatever time is most convenient for them. Donations can be dropped off 7-days a week between 9:00a.m. and 9:00p.m. at RMHC of Central Ohio (711 E. Livingston Ave. Columbus, OH).

Snack Packs

Creating homemade snack packs is a fun way to provide a taste of home for the families. Your gift of an on-the-go meal or snack allows families to stay close to their hospitalized child without having to leave their child’s side for meals or snacks.

Self-Care Kits

Provide a self-care kit for families at the Ronald McDonald Family Room inside Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion. The Family Room supports parents and caregivers of children who are struggling with behavioral or mental health concerns. Donating a self-care kit will help support their mental well-being while their child is being treated.
