Get Involved
Whether you donate your time or money, your help and support is critical to our families. The Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland is an independent charity that relies on the work of our volunteers and the financial support of individual and corporate donations. Without generous contributions, we would be unable to keep our doors open to families in need 365 days a year. There are many ways you can contribute to our House. However, you choose to make an impact, we thank you and are sincerely grateful to you.

Donate To RMHC Ireland
Your donation helps keep families together. Families with sick children need you now more than ever. Your donation will help us keep families together and close to their seriously ill child being treated in hospital.
A small €10 donation could provide a freshly cooked meal for one of our families, while €75 would cover the cost of a family’s room for a night.
Shop Our Gift Store
The Ronald McDonald House accommodates and supports 20 families of seriously ill children every night in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin. For 20 years we have been “home” to over 5,000 families across the island of Ireland.
By buying something from our gift shop you are directly helping families at a time when they need it the most.
Thank you!
Fundraise for RMHC Ireland
For a sick child, sometimes the best medicine is just having family nearby. Our House helps achieve this by keeping families together. It costs €75 a night to accommodate a family in our House and we can’t do it alone.
You can help by creating your very own fundraiser. Run, swim, dance, or create something new. Whatever you LOVE to do can help raise funds for RMHC.
Cooking For Families Program
Through our Cooking for Families Program volunteers provide meals for families, allowing them to eat together without the stress of cooking or the expense of dining out.
Our goal is to provide a meal for our families every day of the week. You can help us by cooking a meal at our House in our fully equipped kitchens.
You don’t need to be a world-class chef to provide a tasty, home-cooked meal. As a “Cooking for Families” volunteer, your group plans your menu, shops for menu items, and prepares meals in the House kitchen for our Families. Cooking for Families is a huge help and relief to our families because it provides them with a healthy, home-cooked meal after a long day at the hospital.
Grab and Go Family Packs
As you can imagine mornings in our House can be particularly tough for the families of little ones receiving care in the hospital.
Many of our parents are up at dawn to be by their child’s side and often miss breakfast.
To support them, we’ve launched our new Grab & Go initiative, providing nutritious snacks and breakfast items for parents on the move. For more information on this initiative please contact [email protected]
We need your help to make this initiative a success.
Wear Your Stripes For RMHC
The “Wear Your Stripes” campaign is a fun easy way for everyone to get involved and give back.
Each year we ask communities, schools and businesses from across Ireland to come together and host Wear Your Stripes events for RMHC. This year we are asking you to “Wear Your Stripes” in support of families staying at The Ronald McDonald House.
Become a Corporate Partner
Whether it’s through generous financial contributions, mission-critical product donations, cause-marketing campaigns or volunteering, our corporate partners are a vital part of our House. Our team works to make the best-in-class partnerships by creating tailored collaborations that meet the individual goals of each corporate donor.
Together, we can create awareness, build trust and loyalty among consumers, and provide unrivalled and unique opportunities to engage employees.
Join our incredible community of House heroes
No sick child should undergo critical medical treatment without having their family around. As an RMHC House Hero, you will be a secret angel, bringing families close to their sick child and encouraging their healing.
A monthly donation to Ronald McDonald House Charity will provide accommodation and support to families whose children are seriously and long-term ill in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin.f
