Donate items on our Wish List
The Ronald McDonald House of Portland relies on the support of community members to help us supply food and other much needed items to the twenty-one families who call the House a home away from home while their child visits a nearby hospital. Help us cut our costs by donating common household items or services.
The next time you are at the grocery store or at a wholesale club, pick up a few items and bring any of these items to House between our office hours from 9 AM and 5 PM at 250 Brackett Street Portland, Maine 04102. Call us at 207 -780-6282 if you have any questions. Check out our list below.
*As a reminder, because the House serves children with health issues, new and unwrapped gifts are accepted. The House cannot accept used or friendly used items.
