It may soon be easier for Illinoisans to donate to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, via ticking a box on the state income tax form.
Sen. Win Stoller (R-Germantown Hills) has sponsored legislation, Senate Bill 81, which would make that possible.
The goal is easier access to help from, and for, the charity with fewer barriers.
Ronald McDonald House of Central Illinois says the tax checkoff program would ensure its services in 29 counties.

"The Ronald McDonald House Charities provides an invaluable service to families faced with the medical hardships of a sick child. This tax checkoff program will help ensure that Ronald McDonald House can continue to provide assistance to Illinois families who need it," Stoller wrote in a Facebook post.
Ronald McDonald in Central Illinois has voiced their appreciation for Stoller’s leadership, claiming that the new bill will ensure that 29 counties will have access to the charity’s services, which specialize in supporting families who are dealing with sick children.
The checkoff program lets Illinois taxpayers designate $1 or more to approved charities or causes on their state income tax form.
Senate Bill 81 was passed by both the Illinois Senate and House, and now heads to the Governor’s desk.
