About Our Organization
For over 25 years, our mission has been to reduce the burden of childhood illness on children and their families. We accomplish this by:
- Creating a caring and uplifting environment
- Providing comfortable lodging convenient to a health facility
- Investing in affiliated programs that comfort and assist children with health concerns and their families
- Undertaking resource and fund development activities that support our facilities, programs and services
Ronald McDonald Houses and the Family Room provide lodging and support for families regardless of their ability to pay for services. We encourage families to make a lodging contribution though no family is turned away for financial reasons.
Last year Ronald McDonald House Charities:
- Served more than 1,500 families in our Houses
- Average family stayed for 9 nights, many stayed for months at a time
- Families represented 14 states, 67 Kansas counties and 50 Missouri counties
- Served nearly 9,700 families in the Ronald McDonald Family Room and received over 39,000 visits from those needing a place to relax, refresh and regroup, away from the hospital’s intense environment
This year, we are looking forward to serving over 1,000 additional families with the opening of our new House in Longfellow Park. Plus, with the suites we can now serve immuno-suppressed children. Your support enables us to serve the families that need us. Every gift makes a significant impact.
