MONETARY DONATIONSTAX CREDIT INFORMATION

The RMHC of Southern Arizona qualifies for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, where you can receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your State tax returns. This year the maximum amounts have increased to $800 for married couples filing jointly and $400 for those filing as single.

This credit can be taken in addition to school and foster care credits, and you can also make monthly donations that can be spread out over an entire year.

Keeping our families healthy is our first priority. Due to the current community spread of COVID-19, the Ronald McDonald Family Room will remain closed until at least March 1, 2022. We will re-open applications once our plans to reopen are finalized.

All applicants must be at least 18 and fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The Family Room, located on the 4th floor in Banner Children’s-Diamond Children’s Medical Center, is a chance to support families inside the hospital. This room serves all pediatric inpatient families at BCDCMC. A special space near the neonatal intensive care unit, the room provides a much-needed respite for families while staying close to their child.

The volunteer’s role is crucial to maintaining the friendly, caring atmosphere of the Family Room, while upholding all Family Room and hospital policies. Given the highly sensitive environment, all prospective volunteers must complete and submit a volunteer application and meet additional hospital volunteer criteria.

In order to keep our guest children and their families as safe as possible, we are temporarily suspending the Chef for a Day program through the end of February 2022, at which time we will reassess community spread. At this time, there is no change for volunteers groups beginning in March 2022. If you would like to help provide a meal during this time, the best way to do so is to make a donation here on our website.

Once we are able to return, our families will very much appreciate some home cooked meals.

If you have questions about the Chef for a Day program, please email Christine LaBoy at claboy@rmhctucson.org.

We have modified our guidelines to continue to protect the health and well-being of the children and families we serve.

Participation Requirements:

• All volunteers must be fully Covid-19 vaccinated and submit proof of vaccination at least one day prior to the scheduled meal.
• Chef for a Day groups may include a maximum of six (6) volunteers. Everyone who comes with your group will count toward this total and must be there to actively participate.
• Chef for a Day volunteers must be at least 12 years old.
