Charity for the Month of January 2026: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois (RMHC-EIWI)
At Necker’s Jewelers, our pieces do more than enhance beauty – they help build community. This month, through our Gift of Giving program, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois (RMHC-EIWI) – an organization dedicated to ensuring that families with sick children can stay close to the care they need.
A Home Away from Home
RMHC-EIWI offers vital services that make a world of difference for families navigating medical treatment:
- Ronald McDonald House in Iowa City – provides comforting lodging, home-cooked meals, and essential amenities like kitchen and laundry facilities right near the hospital.
- Ronald McDonald Family Rooms – located inside hospitals such as St. Luke’s and UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital, these “home away from home” spaces offer families a place to rest, recharge, and refuel during difficult times.
