Holiday Giving Guide

There are many ways you make a difference in your community. We’d like to invite you to make Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana your charity of choice this year. Families are at the heart of everything we do — especially during the holidays.

When everything is so expensive, families far from home with a child in the hospital need your help now more than ever. We’ve put together this guide so that you can support RMHCCIN in a way that is meaningful to you. Every gift makes life a little easier for families with sick and injured children.

Make a Donation

When you make a gift of cash or stock, it will have an immediate impact. Your donation allows us to provide what families need most, when they need it, throughout the year.

  • Click here to make a one-time or recurring gift
  • Mail a check payable to RMHCCIN
    435 Limestone St.
    Indianapolis, IN 46202
  • Make a stock donation by emailing Stacy Clark, Director of Development

Shop Our Wish Lists

Thousands of families come through our doors each year, so as you can imagine, our supply of snack foods, cleaning supplies, toiletry items and more, dwindles quickly.

It’s only through the support and generosity of our community that we are able to provide a comfortable space and home-like atmosphere for our families.

How to Get Involved During the Holidays


The holiday season is a great time to get together as a family and help others! Here are a few ways to get involved. Find the one that works best for you.

Serve or Donate a Meal

A simple meal can go a long way. It helps families take a break, find comfort, and connect with one another. You can be part of that special connection by hosting or donating a meal!

Host a Wishlist Drive

Our families always have needs for the basics: snacks, household supplies, and groceries! Your church, social club, or school can gather much needed supplies and make a huge impact.

Group Embellishment

Host a Fundraiser

Hosting a Christmas party? Have a birthday coming up? Turn your gathering into a fundraiser and make a huge impact in a unique way.

Your gift, no matter how large or small, makes a big impact.


No matter how you give, you are making a difference. Every gift provides a new sense of normalcy for families of sick children across Indiana.
