Giving Opportunities for the Ronald McDonald Family Room
Since 1988 Ronald McDonald House has provided free lodging, food, and compassionate care for pediatric patient families from Utah County through our Salt Lake City programs. In 2024, we were thrilled to open a new location at the Miller Family Campus of Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital in Lehi, Utah. We hope to serve an additional 3,000 families in Utah County each year. Local donations from community members and partners like you can make it happen! We are eager to thank you for your generosity with recognition in the Family Room. See the opportunities below.

Make a Difference for Families & Children
Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can support them all throughout their journey.
When a child experiences medical hardship, people’s focus often narrows to the things that matter most—health, home, family. Our mission is to surround families with the support they need to be near and care for their seriously ill or injured children. We provide a place to call home while their child receives life-saving medical treatment at a local hospital.
Our Cornerstones of Love Grand Givers are truly the heart of our organization—a remarkable group of individuals who make a personal annual gift of $1,000 or more to help keep families close when it matters most. Your compassion and generosity fuel our mission, providing over 15,000 pediatric patient families each year with the vital resources, comfort, and support they need.
Whether you choose to make a one-time contribution or spread your gift throughout the year, your support creates a lasting and meaningful impact. Learn more about giving levels and the benefits of being a Grand Giver in our Grand Giver Brochure. Grand Giver Brochure (.pdf)
