How Can I Help?

Donate Items/"In-Kind" Donations

RMHC-CNI depends upon the generosity of our volunteer community to provide time, talent and all types of support.  "In-Kind" donations - contributions of materials, goods and services allow us to provide for families in a “home away from home” environment.  We are always seeking a variety of new and unused household goods like:

  • Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and plastic sandwich bags
  • Laundry detergent and fabric softener
  • Cleaning products (scrub pads, sponges, dish washing liquid, dishwasher detergent)
  • Bath and bedroom items (sheets, pillow cases, towels, shower curtains)
  • Trial size personal care products (deodorant, tooth paste, bath soap, shampoo, conditioner)
  • Entertainment products (new toys, games, DVDs, books)
  • Food (canned goods and non-perishables)

As we build the new House near Lurie Children's Hospital, we are eager for "In-Kind" donations of goods or services that you or your company are interesting in contributing to help us create an oasis for 86 families of hospitalized children.  

Also of great interest to us are any unique and special items that you might be willing to donate for our auction events. From a weekend retreat or a "timeshare," to a unique service you might provide (golf lessons!), we will work with you to package your idea. 100% of the funds raised from your donation go directly to support our programs and efforts.

In order to ensure that your donation is most effectively used, please contact one of our Houses directly to inquire about their specific needs.
