Ronald Mcdonald House Charities of the Piedmont Triad Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Ronald mcdonald house charities of the piedmont triad, inc. (rmhcpt) owns and operates a 36-bedroom facility that provides temporary lodging for families of seriously ill children who must leave their home community to seek medical care for their children in our community. For most of the families we serve, their children are patients at advocate health atrium health wake forest baptist levine children's brenner children's hospital or novant health forsyth medical center. However, any medical facility in our community (service area) may refer families caring for pediatric patients. More than a place to stay, our ronald mcdonald house offers our guest families comfortable bedrooms, home-cooked meals, laundry facilities, free parking, areas for recreation and the support of professional staff and other guests in similar circumstances. In 2025, our house provided 7,940 family nights serving 1,137 families from 67 North Carolina counties, and 12 other states, and 1 other country. Families are asked for a donation of 10.00 for each night they stay with us. No one is turned away due to an inability to pay and approximately 94% of our families are unable to donate any amount. The difference between the cost to operate each room and the amount paid by our families is funded by community donations. Civic groups, churches and individuals contribute to provide funding for our house. In-kind goods and services valued in excess of 179,300 enhance the services provided to our families and reduce the amount of financial donations spent on programs, administrative and fundraising costs. Some examples of our in-kind gifts include: laundry, yard work and landscaping services, 403 meals prepared by volunteers or provided by local resturants as donations or purchased with donated funds, snack foods, drinks, household and paper goods. We enjoyed having 45 volunteers providing 1,925 hours to support staff and families in our house on a regular basis by assisting in meal preparation, guest family relations, office and housekeeping duties. In addition, 2,398 one-time volunteers serving 5,581 hours, were involved in promoting the house and implementing the house's annual service & fundraising events: house and grounds cleaning, sport-a-shirt/share-a- night, dbmc golf tournament, wine women & shoes, character breakfast and luminary kit sales.
