On Wednesday, hundreds of volunteers will be collecting donations with iconic red shoes throughout San Diego County in support of San Diego’s local Ronald McDonald House.
Red Shoe Day, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., is one of the largest community-driven fundraisers for San Diego’s 57-room Ronald McDonald House, which provides a “home-away-from-home” for families with a child hospitalized at Rady Children’s Hospital.
Funds raised during Red Shoe Day support lodging, meals, emotional support, and family day services provided by the house at no cost to families.
In addition to donating at intersections, online, or via Venmo, San Diegans can donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego year-round by rounding up to the nearest dollar when they purchase at their favorite San Diego County McDonald’s.
