Keeping families close to the care their child needs
TWO Houses in the DC area
Our Two Ronald McDonald Houses keep families close to the care their sick child needs.
When a child is in the hospital, parents face impossible choices — where to stay, how to afford being far from home, how to keep going through treatment.
For 45+ years, our two Houses in Washington DC and Northern Virginia have eased that burden. Families find warm rooms, meals, rest and an understand community.
Both Houses are at capacity. The need is constant — and your support keeps families close when it matters most.
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.
