Holiday Happenings

 

Give the gift of togetherness, because “healing happens together.”

The Holidays should be a time of celebration, shared with family and loved ones. Unfortunately, our families are forced to deal with the hardships of caring for a sick or injured child over the Holidays and must be away from home. At the Ronald McDonald House, we do everything we can to ensure that our families have an enjoyable stay and find all the comforts of home. Please help us give them the Holiday they deserve.

 

Ways to get involved during the Holiday Season:

 

Light-A-Luminary 

Through our Light-A-Luminary project, the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern North Carolina honors those families who are unable to spend the Holidays with their loved ones. Help us brighten the streets in communities all over Eastern North Carolina, in hopes that this gesture will help our families find their way home.

Luminary kits can be purchased for $10 – the cost to stay in the House for one night. Each kit includes 10 white bags, candles and sand. Most yards require 2 kits. Luminaries can be lit throughout the Holiday Season, but we ask that participants light them at 6pm on Dec. 24th to light up the community.

Purchase your kits at the following locations:
Greenville:
Edible Arrangements - 642 E. Arlington Blvd.
Glisson Metals - 320 Pactolus Hwy
Henry's Trees - 531 W. Firetower Rd.
Plant & See Nursery - 4062 Old Tar Rd. (Winterville)
The Plum Tree Bistro - 731 Red Banks Rd.
Wild Birds Unlimited - 518 Greenville Blvd SE
The Ronald McDonald House

Other Locations:
J&S Nursery - 8115 Hwy 70, Newport 

Kits also available from neighborhood captains.  To become a neighborhood captain or to find one near you contact us.

Share-A-Night

While $10/night seems like a small price to pay for a family’s stay at the Ronald McDonald House, this cost adds up, when paired with medical bills and monthly expenses. You can help alleviate stress by Sharing A Night and supporting a family for 1 night, 1 week or more. This is also a great gift idea for family and friends. Nights can be shared in someone's honor or memory. Call for details. (252) 847-5435
Checks can be mailed to the House at 529 Moye Blvd., Greenville, NC 27834. Please make them payable to RMHENC, memo: Share-A-Night. Donations can also be made by phone or through our donation page. 


Giving Tree

This Holiday Season, you can take an ornament from our giving tree that is comprised of our greatest needs. Items come from our Wish List and help ensure that we have a stocked pantry and can meet the growing needs of our families. Trees are located at The Ronald McDonald House and The Plum Tree Bistro at 731 Red Banks Rd. in Greenville, NC.
