 Spouse Program Service Project

Ever wonder what to do with those free toiletries in your hotel room?

Make a donation to the Ronald McDonald House.  Their mission is to provide a home-away-from-home for families of children who are being treated in area hospitals, primarily Riley Hospital for Children.

As a service project, The IERC Spouse Program committee would like to encourage you to drop off items during the Thursday Casino Night and Friday Awards Banquet which will take place at the Hyatt Regency. A drop off box will be available at the registration desk at these events. Additional drop off boxes available at the IERC registration booth located at the Convention Center.

House Wish List
Listed below are items that the Ronald McDonald House currently needs to serve their families. Please remember that the House is just like your home and they can use many of the same items that you use in your house. They do ask that items are new for the health and safety of their guests and volunteers.

For the Guest Rooms
Hairspray
Lotion
Liquid Hand Soap
Deodorant
Mouthwash
Female Shaving Cream
Disposable Razors
Body Wash
Tooth Brushes
Shampoo and Conditioner

Toilet Paper

Don't have an item to donate?  No problem!  Cash donations are also accepted.  Just a couple of dollars will buy a toothbrush or lotion for a tired and weary parent.


Thank you for your donation!

 

We have toured the Ronald McDonald house in the past and have seen the need that these families had.  As parents, we hope we never have to experience having to stay with our child or children at a hospital for the great length of time as many of these parents have had to.  We felt compelled to help in even a small way with these donations as a way to support those families in a time of need.
