Mission Moment: The Strength of Family
The Kaboski family stayed at our House for 164 days while their son, Michael, received treatment at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health. Watch their inspiring story to hear what
keeping families close
meant to them in their time of need.

The days are shorter, the air is colder --
November has officially arrived and what a November it has already been! On Friday, November 3, RMHCCIN had the pleasure of hosting our 10th annual
Taste event at the beautiful Biltwell Event Center. Thanks to your help,
we had a sold-out crowd and a record-breaking year, raising more than
$200,000
for the House -- amazing! A big thank you to all of our attendees and the partners below for making this happen!
As Thanksgiving approaches and we reflect on all that we are grateful for -- know that our families and all of us here at RMHCCIN are thankful for you. Whether you attend our events, volunteer at our House or simply share our posts -- your continued support is the reason our families are able to stay together and near the care they need -- no matter the distance from home. We could not do what we do without you and are continually grateful for your support.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

| Help keep families close this #GivingTuesday! |
After a weekend of eating, visiting and shopping --
Tuesday is for
giving. On
November 28, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana is proud to once again participate in #GivingTuesday - a global day of giving back.
RMHCCIN joined the #GivingTuesday movement in 2015 with a goal of raising $10,000. Since then, thanks to your help and social media savvy, we have raised more than
$82,000
over the last two years to help
keep families close
-- and we need your help to do it again! Help us celebrate 35 years of comfort and care by helping us meet our goal of $35,000 on #GivingTuesday!

Donating your time and talent to the Ronald McDonald House can be a rewarding experience and a real gift to the families staying at the House. Whether you are looking for an ongoing commitment or want to share a special gift or talent on a short-term basis, there is a way for you to make a difference at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana! Current needs include but are not limited to:
Guest Service Volunteers (GSV)
GSV's are our front-line volunteers and often the first face our families see when walking in the door. Duties include checking families in and out of their rooms, answering the phone, receiving donations, light housekeeping, and assisting RMHCCIN staff with various projects. This is a reoccurring
, individual volunteer opportunity. We ask that GSV's are able to make one three-hour commitment every 2 weeks.
Prepare A Freezer Meal
Help fill our freezers to feed RMHCCIN families when we have a cancellation or do not have a meal group pre-scheduled. You bring the ingredients and a disposable pan - we provide the kitchen and utensils. Recipes can range from soups and casseroles to something as easy as a pasta bake! This is a great team-building opportunity that can be scheduled at a time convenient for your group.
Meal Groups
We are in need of meal groups for both our House at Limestone (located on the IUPUI campus) and our House located inside Riley. RMHCCIN welcomes meal groups on a one-time or reoccurring basis. Additional dinner dates and meal group guidelines can be found
