Hospitality a la Carte Program

Ronald McDonald House Charities Ann Arbor (RMHCAA) serves over 1,200 families each year.  We recognize there are many families staying at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital that we are not able to serve at our Houses.  To help meet their needs, RMHCAA offers the Hospitality a la Carte program, which enables us to serve even more families.  The Carte was made possible by a donation to RMHC Global from the McDonald’s Hispanic Owner Operator Association.  The Carte provides comfort items to the parents and caregivers of the child receiving treatment who are not current guests of RHHCAA.

We are currently accepting donations of items for the cart.  For a complete list of items needed, view our hospitalitycartewishlist
