Amazon Wish List And Ongoing Daily Needs
The Ronald McDonald House® operates just like a regular household. However, instead of one family, we can have up to 51 families staying with us at any time! In addition to monetary gifts, items from our program Wish Lists help keep our pantries stocked, facilities cleaned, and most pressing needs met. They ensure that we are able to provide all the resources and amenities a family may need during their time with us, so they can stay focused on what matters most — their child’s health and well-being.
You can host a Wish List Drive at your school, job, church, or among family and friends by collecting items that our families use daily. Encourage peers to bring Wish List items to upcoming birthday parties, celebrations, meetings, etc.
Your donations bring comfort, hope, strength, and love to children and families facing serious health challenges in our community. Thank you in advance for your help!

Order anything from our Amazon Wish List and it will be delivered directly to our door! Our list includes everyday items needed most, such as snacks and supplies for the House, as well as some one-time larger items. High priority items are updated regularly.
Please remember to “send these items as a gift” and add your contact information to the card so we can send our thanks!
Your thoughtfulness in donating the following items will be appreciated by the families staying in our Houses and visiting the hospital Family Rooms.

All items can be dropped off at:
Ronald McDonald House

Albuquerque, NM 87106
We are grateful to the many donors who generously give items to Ronald McDonald House New Mexico. We accept in-kind gifts that are consistent with our mission, vision, and values. All items become the property of Ronald McDonald House New Mexico and may be repurposed as needed.
Please Note:
There are many ways to support Ronald McDonald House New Mexico through your everyday activities. Take a look below for ideas or visit our donation portal.
Collect Pop Tabs at home, work, school, or in your community, then drop the tabs off at Ronald McDonald House, and we’ll be happy to recycle them for you. If you live out of town, you may also recycle the tabs yourself and donate the proceeds to the House.
Please note: many manufacturers of soup, pet food, etc., are now using steel cans with pull tabs. The steel tabs are not a part of this recycling program – only aluminum tabs. Not sure how to tell? Steel tabs stick to a magnet, but aluminum tabs will not.
Collect Pop Tabs in any easy-to-empty container – zip lock bags or coffee cans work well, but not milk or juice jugs. Pop Tab Collection Houses are also available.
THANK YOU to all the schools that have participated in our Pop Tab Collection Contest over the years. Ronald McDonald House New Mexico is no longer sponsoring a school contest, but you can still help support our families by collecting aluminum tabs and bringing them to the Yale House at 1011 Yale Blvd NE or by taking them directly to Rudy’s Recycling at 1224 2nd Street, NW, Albuquerque. (Rudy will donate the funds from your donation directly to us.)
Every time you visit McDonald’s, you can support our programs by choosing to: Round-Up for Ronald McDonald House when you place your order on the kiosk or asking the crew to Round-Up your order to the nearest dollar, by selecting a fixed donation to Ronald McDonald House New Mexico in the McDonald’s Mobile App or you can drop spare change in any of the Donation Boxes in restaurants or drive-thrus.
