Ronald McDonald House is the cornerstone program of Ronald McDonald House Charities and is a home-away-from-home for families with a seriously ill child undergoing treatment. When you're stuck in hospital, having family around you can make all the difference. Ronald McDonald House gives families somewhere low cost and comfortable to stay; rather than a hospital waiting room. Sometimes you just need the most important people around you. McDonald’s Corporation and its licensees support RMHC in a number of ways including directly funding the national charities administration costs to ensure every possible dollar from community donations goes directly to the programs and services for the children and their families.
