Some families haven't left the hospital in days. Others are packing the car, ready to finally go home. Wherever they are in that journey, a few small comforts go a long way, and you can be part of that. If you're able, our wish list is a simple way to help make the road a little easier. Items can be shipped directly to us or dropped off at 825 South Lake Avenue in Sioux Falls. We're grateful for your support! ❤️

Say "hi" to William and Christopher, brothers who've been baking homemade cookies for families at our Ronald McDonald House every month since 2023.

Their inspo? Their mom, Catherine, did the same thing for her local Ronald McDonald House when she was growing up in Texas, and when she shared that story with her boys, they were all in.

These two don't just drop off cookies. They make them themselves, and they show up every single month with the kind of enthusiasm that reminds us why community matters.

Thank you, William, Christopher, and Catherine! We and our families are so lucky to have you in our corner. 🍪❤️

Rapid City Ballistix Softball hit it out of the park for the House in the Hills! 🥎❤️

They hosted a fundraiser at Sam's Club that raised $1,020 in cash donations and $2,200 in non-perishable household items to start stocking our shelves and pantries. Their reason? They know what it means to be supported by a community, and they wanted to pay it forward for Black Hills families.

That's what it looks like when a team shows up beyond the diamond. Thank you, Ballistix!

We are saddened to share the passing of Nora Lindell, a treasured volunteer who gave nearly 20 years of her time and heart to the Ronald McDonald House in Sioux Falls.

Giving her time and talent wasn't something Nora did occasionally. It was who she was. When Ronald McDonald Children’s Charities selected our House as one of a few in the country to receive a computer in 1983, Nora was right there, spending a week in training alongside our founding Executive Director, Shelley Hanisch.

Nora's willingness to show up and learn something new in service of families is a memory we'll always carry. We are grateful she was part of our story. ❤️

Nora Kathleen Lindell, 92, of Sioux Falls, SD died surrounded by her family on Thursday, June 4, 2026. Visitation will be held from 600 pm to 700 pm on Tuesday, June 16th at St. Marks Lutheran Church, 2001 S. Elmwood Ave, Sioux Falls, SD. The funeral will take place the

Look at that house! 🏠 The students of St Paul's Lutheran Church & School in Rapid City showed up big — collecting pop tabs until their Ronald McDonald House was nearly full. Every single tab helps a family stay close to their child during one of the hardest times of their lives. Thank you, St. Paul's Lutheran — your generosity fills more than just a house. It fills families with hope.
