Share A Night
Families stay anywhere from one night to several months and come from all over Indiana, the United States , and the world. The House asks for a donation from these families of $10 per night, but the average they are able to pay is $3.70. The actual nightly cost to house each family is $77. The House makes up the difference through fundraising. Your generous support of the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana makes it possible for us to provide important lodging services to a family during a time of great need, without regard to a family's ability to pay or length of stay.
