Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati
Who We Are: Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House keeps families with sick children together and near the care and resources they need. While the children are receiving treatment, we surround each family with hope and support and bring joy and a sense of normalcy to children as they heal. Our 177-bedroom House is the largest Ronald McDonald House in the world.
What We Do: Our House offers a community of compassion, support and the comforts of home to families with critically ill children, steps away from the medical care they need.
Why We’re Important: Our House is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We allow families to face the weight of illness together and to focus on the health of their child.
How We Serve the Community: Every year, thousands of families travel from around the world to Cincinnati seeking critical medical care for their children. During this stressful time, they turn to Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House for a place to call “home” while in our city. Some stay for just a few days while others are here for months or more. It is because of the generosity of thousands of volunteers and donors from our community that each guest family feels supported and cared for while they are here. They help us represent our city to people from around the globe.
How You Can Help: There are many ways to support our House. Financial donations enable us to support families when they need it most. We also welcome corporate and social groups to prepare and serve a meal for our families through our Taste of Hope program. We also have regular and single-day volunteer opportunities available. Attendance/sponsorship at our fundraising events is also a popular way to support our House while having a great time! Due to Covid, some of these opportunities may be limited. Please check our website for the latest information.
