BIG NEWS WE ARE GROWING. We've Moved! We are thankful for the myriad of ways in which you help make our House a home for families with sick children. For 33 years our Ronald McDonald House on NE 14th and Lottie has served our mission well. As the need for our services has increased, we have worked diligently to expand our capacity to serve families. With the opening of our second Ronald McDonald House at The Children’s Hospital three years ago, it is evident families are best served when they are able to stay closest to their child. To meet the current service gap, we closed our 33 year old Ronald McDonald House on January 23, 2018, and growing to serve more families in our newer location on campus at The Children’s Hospital at OU Medical Center. We will be adding 26 more rooms to have the capacity to accommodate 40 families nightly. We are excited to soon be providing additional rooms, amenities and support so that even more families will be able to stay closest to their hospitalized child. Please take note of the following updates: Guest Chefs: Guest Chefs give our guest families strength through sustenance, and we appreciate everything you do to help comfort families. Please know that we have many opportunities at the Ronald McDonald House at The Children’s Hospital for Guest Chefs to cook a delicious meal for our guest families. If you would like to volunteer to be a Guest Chef, please contact Judy Baldridge at jbaldridge@rmhc-okc.org or (405)271-3180. Volunteers Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. We cannot thank you enough for all that you do. We will still have many volunteer opportunities available to help keep our House ready to serve guest families. If you have any questions or need help with deciding how you can help us through volunteering, please contact Judy Baldridge at jbaldridge@rmhc-okc.org or (405)271-3180.
