Events

Volunteer for an event!

Ronald McDonald House Central Ohio hosts nine signature events each year as well as partners on events with local fundraisers.

Event volunteers ensure each event runs smoothly and raises money for the families being served.

Family Rooms

Come to a Family Room!

Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms provide a relaxed space for families to grab a snack or a drink, take a shower, do a load of laundry, or take a quick break just steps from their inpatient child, if only for a few moments.

Internships

Be an intern!

Interns help Ronald McDonald House Central Ohio in so many ways! Make a difference while receiving hands-on learning! 

For more information, please reach out to Meika Hilles at meika.hilles@rmhcentralohio.org

Support Packs

Prepare on-the-go support bags for families in your own setting.

Snack Packs

Creating 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 room for meals or snacks.
