Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oklahoma City
Providing a "home away from home"
For 40 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities have worked to provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing while children receive critical healthcare.
The RMHC guest suites and family facilities allow parents and siblings of sick children to stay together and close to the medical care they need, providing comfort, support, and a “home away from home” during incredibly challenging times.
Sharing similar family-centric values, Shellback is honored to support the efforts of RMHC and these families, to promote the health and recovery of children in need.

Care Packages for Caregivers
As we step into the holiday season, we’re often reminded of the warmth of being close to family. Many of us look forward to spending relaxed, quality time at home with loved ones. For many local families, however, this Christmas won’t be spent around the tree, but by the side of a hospital bed, caring for a child facing a serious illness.
Please join Shellback as we partner with Ronald McDonald House Charities OKC to bring comfort and support to the amazing parents and siblings staying near a loved one over the holidays. We’ll be collecting items to help fill 40 Care Packages for Caregivers – small comforts meant to bring warmth and joy when it’s most needed. These gift bags will be delivered on Christmas morning to each RMHC suite, as a heartfelt reminder that their community cares for and stands with them.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to spread some holiday magic to families going through tough times. We wish you and yours a very joyful holiday season ahead.
Here's how you can help!
Our immediate goals are to collect:
-
80 comfy slippers (any adult size, can be women’s or unisex)
-
40 lap blankets or small throws
-
40 gift cards in $25 increments (to local restaurants, gas stations, Amazon, Walmart, or other major retailers)
NOW through December 13th
