Schneiderman's Furniture is a wonderful example of a company that cares. 💞 Since 1990, they've made significant financial and product donations, including mattresses and outdoor furniture, and their annual Russ Schneiderman Charity Event raised $95,292 for us this year alone. They are beloved members of the Twin Cities and Duluth communities, and we are grateful to call them friends.

Thank you Brewed with Heart as well as all your amazing supporters for collecting pop tabs! Such a simple yet impactful thing to do. We sure appreciate it! 😍

Starting the new year by dropping off 178 lbs of “pop” tabs at Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest in Minneapolis making our Brewed With Heart donation grand total to 914 lbs! A simple collection of a tab of a can helps families stay close or a free meal while bedside in the hospital. We know first hand how this small gesture makes a huge impact. Thank you to those that helped contribute to this donation. Our collection bin at Boathouse Brothers Brewing Co. is ready for more!

This sweet family used the RMH at Children's Minnesota - Minneapolis when their son Broderick (in orange/grey jacket on right) was born and they recently returned with their arms full of toys and donations to brighten the holidays for current RMH families. 🎁 Members of their gym, FitHaus in Long Lake, MN helped raise funds to purchase toys and other goodies. What a fantastic way to end the year! Thanks, all! 😍

In a powerful display of community spirit, a family from Iron River, WI stayed at RMH Northland in Duluth in September 2021 after their daughter Kinslee was diagnosed with cancer. As Kinslee and her family battled together, their friends and family rallied to support them and RMH, which became their home away from home. Kinslee's inspiring bell ringing 🔔 earlier this year was a celebration of her strength, and the family's amazing 2,000 pound pop tab donation in August was a heartwarming display of community support. 😎❤️😎

The kids at RMH-Oak Street had a very special visitor today, Dusty the Horse. This amazing animal has an innate ability to love and comfort everyone he meets, including Bernie, House Dog for Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest. What a beautiful holiday experience!

Having used the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Children's Minnesota - St. Paul themselves, Mike & Min know how comforting it is to be provided a freshly made meal during a child’s hospitalization. Mike said this space is his “kitchen away from home”. We are so lucky to have supporters like this compassionate couple! 😍🍝😍

Today's Wishlist ➡️ https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/11P1S39CXOKQ9 includes grab & go snacks that save RMH families not just time, but also money spent in a hospital cafeteria or at a vending machine. We go through these items quickly, so orders of all sizes are a welcome sight! 😊 Thanks in advance for your generosity, and Happy Holidays!
