Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

Ronald mcdonald house: we care for families with children who are ill or injured, birth to age 21. Our services help families struggling with problems like how to stay near and support a hospitalized child, how to afford staying together in another city while a child is undergoing treatment, or even how to feed their family while away from the comforts and support of home. The families we support often come from underserved populations facing housing and food insecurity. They represent some of the sickest pediatric patients and typically spend extended periods in the hospital.we provide solutions for these and other issues related to easing the hardship of children's illness on families through core programs that focus on the critical needs of children, celebrating the diversity of the donors who make them possible, staying true to our heritage of responsible stewardship, and operating with accountability and transparency.
