Give the Gift of Home
Imagine being far from home with your sick child. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and Southwest Washington (RMHC) provides a "home away from home" for families and their seriously ill children who travel far to receive treatment at Portland hospitals. You can help the families staying at one of Portland's two Ronald McDonald Houses by raising money to support RMHC. Provide comfort--give the gift of home.
