With your help, we provide families with better access to the care their sick child needs.
For more than 45 years, our two Houses have kept families close to their hospitalized child — easing the financial, emotional and practical strain of a medical crisis. Families find rest, meals and a supportive community just steps from the care their child needs. And our services extend beyond our walls, helping families navigate treatment wherever they are. The need is constant, and your support is what makes it possible for families to stay close.
Ronald McDonald House® Washington DC
Serving families since 1980
Our 32 guest suites — including isolation suites — offer a warm, supportive place to stay just steps from Children’s National Hospital.
Ronald McDonald House® Northern Virginia
Serving families Since 1998
Recently renovated with 24 guest suites, a family kitchen, dining room, laundry rooms, play area, patio, and courtyard — close to pediatric care across Northern Virginia.
At both houses, families are welcomed into a supportive community and are provided with meals, common spaces to breathe and recover, a playroom for siblings, laundry facilities and an outdoor courtyard.
Houses offer comfort and the stability families need through ongoing pediatric treatment.
Cart with a Heart
Lovingly called, “Cart with a Heart,” the Ronald McDonald Hospitality Cart programs at Children’s National Medical Center and Inova Children’s Hospital provide bedside amenities and comfort to parents and other caregivers while they remain with their hospitalized child.
