Participating groups receive ornaments to distribute to members or hang on a tree. Each ornament contains a gift needed for a child or parent, or a food or household item needed to keep Ronald McDonald House programs running. (Donations may also be sent through Amazon – see links below.) When gifts are received and organized, parents “shop” in Santa’s Workshop for their sick children as well as their siblings.
In addition to relieving a financial burden for parents as they support a sick child, this heartfelt program offers meaningful holiday activity for companies, schools, and groups of all sizes.
Check out the 2025 Wishing Tree Packet to find this year’s wish list and ornaments.
