The Adopt a Room program offers a year-long, 6 month or 3 month sponsorship of a bedroom, apartment or common room. By sponsoring a room, you will have a direct impact on the families who call Ronald McDonald House “home” while their hospitalized child receives medical treatment.
Your support helps to underwrite the cost of their stay which enables us to serve all families, regardless of their ability to pay.
If you are interested in this program or would like to arrange a tour of available spaces, please contact Nicole Anderson or click here for our sponsorship options.
A sincere thank you goes to our current Adopt A Room Sponsors.
“As a Speech Pathologist who worked with medically fragile children, I learned about Ronald McDonald House years ago. When my husband and I got to a point to be able make a few donations, this organization was one of my first considerations…”

Benefits of Sponsorship
The Adopt a Family program provides generous donors with an opportunity to fund the expenses associated with a family’s stay. Without RMH Providence and RMH Boston Harbor, families would sleep in hospital waiting areas, in their cars or have to turn to local hotels with an average cost ranges from $154- $250 per night. It costs approximately $150 per night to provide services for a family of 4.
When you Adopt a Family, you help provide all the care and comfort needed for families to focus their energy on their sick child. Your donation directly impacts the families who call the Ronald McDonald House “home” while their child receives medical treatment. Your generosity, at any level, is valuable and appreciated!

Collecting Pop Tabs is an easy way to help the House. In fact, it is a great way to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling, while they raise funds to help children and their families at the same time.
We collect pop tabs because they are pure high-quality aluminum, unlike cans, which consist of aluminum and other alloys. Tabs are also easier to store and more sanitary than whole cans.
When you are ready to deliver your pop tabs call us at (401) 274-4447.
Number of pop tabs to make one pound.
We receive approximately 70 cents per pound.
Amount of pop tabs placed end-to-end to reach a mile.
