International Day of Charity ❤️

Small acts of kindness can create a big impact.

At Ronald McDonald House Rochester, we see that impact every single day. A meal made by a volunteer, a bag of snacks left for a family, a few cents rounded up at McDonald’s, or someone simply giving their time may seem small, but to a family facing a child’s medical crisis, those acts can mean so much.

They remind families that they aren’t facing it alone.

Charity is more than giving. It’s showing up, making space, offering support and helping carry someone through a difficult time.

Today, we’re especially grateful for the people who show up for families when they need it most. Your kindness helps keep families close, and sometimes, that is the greatest gift of all. 🏡❤️

Recently, we received a very special gift for the House. ❤️

Rob Hovey and his daughter stopped by to donate a new Thomas the Tank Engine Playset in memory of Ann Hovey, a longtime Ronald McDonald House Rochester volunteer and relief manager.

Ann gave so much of her time to the House and the families we serve, and we’re so grateful to the Hovey family for honoring her in such a sweet way.

We know this playset will bring plenty of smiles to the kids who spend time here. ❤️🚂

Thank you, Hovey family!

Five years of bringing our RMH family back together, and this one was pretty special. 🏡❤️

Families we’ve supported over the years, along with volunteers, staff and more, came together for a day that was all about being together, making memories and celebrating the incredible community we’ve built.

There was zip lining, fishing, boat rides, wagon rides, playground adventures, good food and a whole lot of smiles. And the Happy Pirates made an appearance to take the fun to a whole new level of fun! 🏴‍☠️

But honestly, the best part? Seeing families reconnect, sharing stories, laughing together and knowing that the House has connected us in ways that last far beyond a stay.

A pretty perfect reminder that once you’re part of the Ronald McDonald House family, you’re always part of the family. 💛

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 5th Family Reunion one to remember!

A little snack bag shout-out for !

Henry Huang, Audit and Compliance Analyst at Safran Federal Systems, stopped by this morning to drop off snack bags, and we loved hearing how much fun his team had putting them together!

Henry shared that the snack bags brought colleagues from different teams together and created some great cross-team engagement along the way. We love when a simple act of kindness brings people together while making a difference for families at Ronald McDonald House.

Thank you, Henry and the entire Safran Federal Systems team, for filling our shelves with snacks and our day with a little extra heart! ❤️

When the Hobart and William Smith Colleges women’s volleyball team started collecting pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House Rochester, they quickly turned it into a volunteer opportunity at the House!

They came ready to roll up their sleeves, learn about our Pop Tab Program and see firsthand how those little tabs help support our mission. They were also genuinely curious about Ronald McDonald House and eager to learn more about the families we serve.

And we have to give them a little extra love because this team was an absolute JOY to have at the House. The smiles, the energy and the kindness were unmatched!

Thank you, Hobart women’s volleyball, for showing up, getting involved and bringing such great energy with you. We’re already looking forward to having you back! 🏐❤️

A huge thank you to our founding & forever partner, McDonald's, for sponsoring this special event, and to Ruby from Volvo Cars Rochester and the Garber Automotive Rochester for throwing out the first pitch and doing an incredible job!
