To Give A Smile partners with Ronald McDonald Houses located across the country. Each location provides a home away from home for families that have to travel to seek medical treatment for their child. As an organization, we provide ongoing home-cooked meals to the families staying at each facility. Meals provided gives parents one less thing to have to worry about, allowing them to focus on what matters the most, caring for their sick child.
In addition, we provide themed activity nights at Ronald McDonald houses, that are creative, fun, and enjoyable. Activity events allow kids that are staying at the houses for long periods of time, whether it be as they wait for a transplant or receive ongoing treatment, to have a chance to be a kid and have fun. Activity nights include: holiday-themed events, such as Christmas in July or our December Month of hope, where kids can enjoy pictures with Santa, decorate cookies and participate in Bingo Christmas. In addition, we do various crafts and other themed activities that help take their minds off current treatment.
