Be a Light Of Hope For Families At The House This Holiday Season!
Make a Lights of Hope Donation
Ronald McDonald House Charities helps ease the burden for families who must seek medical care far from home for their child. The Ronald McDonald House is a beacon of light for families because they are able to stay together and near the medical care they need. You have an opportunity to be a light of hope and love to families staying at Ronald McDonald House throughout ‘Lights of Hope’ campaign.
The cost of what we do is quite high, and although a $15.00 per day donation to offset the cost of their room is appreciated, we do not charge families to stay with us.
About Lights of Hope
Be a light of hope for families staying at RMHC-SWVA. By shining a Light of Hope on our grand tree on the front lawn of the Ronald McDonald House in honor of a loved one and your donation shares the cost of Keeping Families Close when they need it the most.
We are excited to bring back our Tree Lighting Ceremony in person this year on Sunday, December 4th on the front lawn of our Ronald McDonald House. We will also provide a live feed our Facebook Page HERE for those unable to join us in person.
Our festive lights and our Lights of Hope tree will be on display starting December 5th – January 1st.
