Donations Requested for New Ronald McDonald House

is supporting the “Help Make This House a Home” campaign benefitting Ronald McDonald House Charities this season.

The company is sponsoring the “wish list,” which includes everything that families could need while their children are in the hospital. Wish list items include bedding, bathroom linens, cups, plates, bowls, silverware, trash cans, pots, pans, toasters, alarm clocks, flash lights, serving platters, playpens, inflatable beds, hangers, umbrellas and more.

The requested items have been placed on registries at Amazon.com and Macy’s. Donors can ship the items to “RMH near Lurie Children's Wish List” on the check-out page, and are asked to list “Coldwell Banker” in the “Notes” section.

The donations will be used in the world’s largest Ronald McDonald House, set to open next summer in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. The new facility will provide care and comfort to seriously ill children and their families.

The 14-story Ronald McDonald House, which will include 86 guest rooms, will support the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. 

Coldwell Banker invites the community to join in its campaign. Wish list items can be purchased online and shipped directly to Ronald McDonald House, or can be dropped off until Dec. 13 at designated Coldwell Banker offices. The nearest drop-off point is 792 E Rand Road, Arlington Heights.

Coldwell Banker representatives will deliver the donations to the Streeterville facility on Dec. 13.
