Ronald McDonald House at Stanford creates a home-away-from-home and supportive community for families of children with life-threatening illnesses receiving specialized treatment at local hospitals. The House can accommodate 47 families per night in private rooms and features a communal kitchen and dining room, children’s activity room, teen recreation center, CLIK (computer learning for ill kids) room, family library, and fitness center, in addition to a selection of program offerings that promote a sense of normalcy for each member of the family.

Why is the electrical bill important? How does it have an impact?
Nearly every critical service Ronald McDonald House provides is powered by electricity. Your generous donation will power warm meals, comfortable rooms, and a little happiness for families who need bright moments. Any reduction in our energy bill means more of our operating revenue can fund essential programs, such as Camp Ronald McDonald, the Happy Wheels mobile hospitality cart, and the Day Pass program. Subscribing to a recurring donation allows your contribution to make an even bigger impact.

How will my donation be used?
All proceeds from this fundraising campaign will be applied directly toward Ronald McDonald House at Stanford’s monthly electrical bill and power life-changing services for families.

Why are subscription donations more powerful?
Subscribing to a recurring donation allows us to use your money more efficiently because our administrative and fundraising costs are kept to a minimum and nearly 100% of your donation is used to help families. Recurring donations also allow us to build a stronger foundation so we can help more families in the future.
