Snacks, laundry and cleaning products, toiletries, and more are being gathered for the Ronald McDonald House, which provides a home away from home for families whose children are receiving treatment at Children’s of Alabama.
This is the fourth annual Ronald McDonald House Collection Drive, coordinated by the University of Alabama at Birmingham Graduate School to give back to families who truly need support. This year’s drive will be virtual.
See a list of needed items, such as bulk boxes of single-serving snacks, kitchen supplies, cleaning and paper products, bottled water, puzzle books, umbrellas, batteries, and more, on the event’s Amazon Wish List.
Items can be purchased directly from the list and automatically shipped to the UAB Graduate School. Donations can also be dropped off at the Graduate School office, Lister Hill Library G03, 1700 University Blvd., Birmingham, AL 35233, by Friday, Feb. 4.
