How It Makes A Difference
Families travel to Boston for medical care from across the country and the globe, leaving many of their belongings behind. These kits make RMH Boston Harbor feel more like home and allow families to focus on treatment. Toiletry kits save parents a trip to the store and ensure they have all of the necessary toiletry items they need when they arrive to their apartment at RMH Boston Harbor.
Instructions
Grab a quart/gallon sized ziploc back, or other container large enough to hold your collected items for your toiletry kit. Collect the designated items for your kit. You may want to do a drive and ask friends, neighbors, classmates, or others you know to bring a designated item to a birthday or holiday party, or as part of another activity you are participating in. Arrange all of the collected items in container. If you wish to add a card or note to your kit, please do so! (Please no religious messages or -Get Well Soon.) Drop off your kits at Ronald McDonald House Boston Harbor, 250 1 Avenue APT 318, Charlestown, MA 02129.
