Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Greater Washington, DC (RMHCDC)

Ronald McDonald House Washington DC (formerly Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Greater Washington, DC, RMHCDC) eases the hardship of children’s illness on families through programs that directly improve the health and wellbeing of children.

Ronald McDonald House addresses the most urgent needs of our community – Children’s Health. The Problem and Our Purpose: Faced with a child’s illness life stops overnight and parents enter a world of fear and worry.

For parents who don’t live close to the medical care their child needs, there’s an added stress - Distance. Most families have to travel hours for treatment. Living expenses quickly add up. Long drives, lost jobs, worried siblings, sleeping in cars.

Being far from family and friends. These are extra burdens no family should have to experience. Help even more families stay close through the biggest challenge of their lives. Together, we can do big things.
