With the holiday seasons around the corner, we are thinking of the many families with seriously ill children staying with us at Ronald McDonald House® Alberta. For these families, the financial impact of the holiday season can be difficult.
With your help and contributions to our Holiday Wish List, children and their families at the House will feel the magic of the season and the generosity of our community. This Wish List provides gifts for all members of the family: infants, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, and caregivers.
There are two ways to participate:
1. Send Wish List items directly to the House through Amazon
Donating Wish List items is a simple and meaningful way to support Ronald McDonald House Alberta families and ensure they receive exactly what they need this holiday season.
Please select the House you’d like to send your order to. You can shop online and purchase items directly from our Amazon Wish Lists, created for the families staying at the House. Don’t forget to include your name and contact information with your order so we acknowledge and provide a tax receipt for your thoughtful donation.
To ensure gifts arrive in time for Christmas, please submit your Amazon order by Friday, December 12th.
2. Drop donations off at a Ronald McDonald House in Alberta
If you’d like to donate in person, we encourage you to use the Amazon Wish Lists or the Holiday Wish List as a guide. These lists include gift ideas for all ages, including preemies, infants, teens, and caregivers.
Before dropping off your items, please schedule a drop off time in advance to help us manage deliveries across the province.
Contact Sandi Ferchau to schedule a drop off time at SFerchau@ronaldmcdonaldhousealberta.org
We kindly request donations are dropped off on or by Friday, December 19th.
Thank you for supporting Ronald McDonald House Alberta families through your Holiday Wish List gift donations.
