Most of us know someone who has had a child receive care at Children’s Hospital, and we’ve heard the many success stories of children that have overcome their health issues. As Puget Sound residents, we are blessed to live in an area with such excellent doctors. Not everyone who visits Children’s Hospital is a local resident. Some families travel thousands of miles to visit the Seattle Children’s Hospital, and they have an opportunity to stay at the Seattle Ronald McDonald House for less than the cost of a hotel stay. According to their website, approximately 1,100 families use RMDH as their home away from home each year, making the Seattle location the second largest House in the world.

Please join me in collecting toiletry items for the families that stay at the Seattle Ronald McDonald House. Unlike a hotel, these rooms are not equipped with toiletry items for the families, so the RMDH relies on donations from vendors and caring individuals like yourself. The families staying at RMDH are often stressed with the enormous travel expenses and medical bills and having a few free toiletry items on hand will surely help them.
Here are the toiletry items the RMDH needs. Do you have any extra new & unused toothbrushes from dentist appointments or hotel stays? The small trial sizes are appreciated just as much as full size!
Toothpaste / Liquid Body Wash / Body Lotion
Toothbrushes / Shampoo / Hand Soap
Floss / Conditioner / Bar Soap
HERE IS HOW TO GET THE DONATED ITEMS TO RMDH:
- You may drop them off in a box or bag (to my attention) at my office Monday through Friday 8 am—7 pm, Saturday & Sunday 9 am—5 pm.
- Deliver them directly to the Ronald McDonald House, located at 5130 40th Avenue NE, Seattle. The phone number for RMDH is (206) 838-0600.
I am collecting items through December 15th, 2008 and will deliver them to the Seattle Ronald McDonald House for you.
You may contact me on my cell phone at (206) 419-2833 or email me with questions.
Thank you in advance for helping to make a positive difference in other people’s lives.
