The mission of Ronald McDonald House South Dakota (RMHSD) is to keep families close through places, programs and partnerships that directly improve a child’s wellbeing, supporting families during their most challenging times. It's our vision to make South Dakota a place where all families can be close to care and close to each other.

RMHSD provides a home for families while their child is hospitalized. We have two houses located in Sioux Falls: an 8 bedroom house located near Avera McKennan and a 21 bedroom house located near Sanford Hospital. We are underway on a capital campaign to build a 12 bedroom house in Rapid City! Caring for more than 1,000 families every calendar year, our needs vary. Because a safe, healthy and clean space is a priority, we are always running low on household cleaning supplies and hygiene items. Donations of new and unused baby wipes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine products, toiletries or additional items from our Amazon Wish List can be delivered or mailed to 825 S. Lake Avenue, Sioux Falls, SD 57104.

The mission of the Teddy Bear Den in Sioux Falls, SD is to promote healthier pregnancies, healthier babies, and ultimately a healthier community through an incentive- and education-based program targeted at economically disadvantaged pregnant women and teens.

A gift of $250 provides direct support for one family during their time in the Teddy Bear Den program, giving a mom access to essential baby items she earns through her healthy lifestyle points. These are simple, everyday needs she may not be able to afford on her own—diapers, wipes, bottles, clothing, blankets—and even bigger items like wagon strollers or a 4-in-1 crib that will last beyond her child’s toddler years. Your generosity does more than provide baby supplies; it offers peace of mind, encouragement, and the foundation for a healthier start for both mom and baby.
