Help keep our pantries filled with nutritious snacks and non-perishable food items. With up to 51 families staying in our House at one time, our pantries are well-loved. Families are able to grab a snack as they head to the hospital or whip up a quick meal in our kitchen. Pantry Partners provide the funding for us to fill our food needs for the month at either the Yale or Highlands House, and give our families one less thing to worry about while they focus on their child’s health.
Children whose families stay at Ronald McDonald Houses tend to be the sickest, have traveled the furthest distances for care, and spend the longest time in the hospital. The Houses allow families to access the best medical care for their child, and being nearby helps children heal and cope better.
Every year, families find themselves at our front door because they are seeking lodging while their children receive top-notch healthcare in an Albuquerque-area hospital. RMHC-NM’s mission is to keep families close by providing comfort, care, and a “home-away-from-home” for these families. We offer a haven and home-like atmosphere so families can focus on what matters most, their critically ill children.
The Pantry Partner program ensures that the pantries at the Yale and Highlands Ronald McDonald Houses are stocked and that the families have food available throughout their stay.
