This holiday season, brighten the days of families staying at Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central Illinois by spreading love and joy—one snowflake, snowman, or family gram at a time!

From December 9 to December 31, you can make the season a little warmer for families facing challenging times far from home. Here’s how:

• $5 – Purchase a snowflake (includes your message of hope or love)
• $10 – Purchase a snowman (includes your message of hope or love)
• $25 – Send an Entire House Family Gram (every family in the House will receive your message of encouragement)
• $50 – Send an Entire House Family Gram with a Holiday Treat (every family in the House will receive your message of encouragement along with a festive treat)

Write a word or short message of encouragement with your donation, and we’ll display your snowflake or snowman in the common areas of our Peoria and Springfield Houses. Wish to send a family gram to all of our families?  These heartfelt surprise messages will remind families every day that they are surrounded by love and support.

Why Your Support Matters

The holidays can be especially difficult for families staying at RMHCCI, away from their loved ones and usual traditions. Your contribution will bring extra cheer, hope, and strength when they need it most.

Help Us Make It Snow!

Follow along on Social Media for weekly “weather reports” throughout December to see which House—Springfield or Peoria—collects the most snow. Together, let’s create a record-breaking snowfall of encouragement and joy!
