Ronald McDonald House Charities
Volunteers make the difference in the lives of all the families that come through our doors – cooking, hosting, listening, nurturing, or by simply being there and helping out in any way they can. On behalf of the nearly nine million children and their families we help every year, we say, ‘thanks’ and invite you to find your own volunteer opportunity.
Contact your local Chapter to find out what opportunities are available near you.
Your Small Change Can Make a Big Difference
An even easier way for you to help support RMHC is to drop your spare change in the RMHC Donation Boxes at participating McDonald’s restaurants. Little by little, it adds up and can mean a lot.
Keeping families together to help kids heal and cope better

It’s funny. We used to pass each other in the hallways at school all the time. We kind of knew each other, but weren’t exactly friends. Now, thanks to a special place called the Ronald McDonald House, we’re friends – very close friends. Today, friendship means a lot more to us. While we both have ... Read More

In a nook on the fifth floor of the Ronald McDonald House near Lurie Children’s Hospital, is an old upright piano. The room is Chloe’s concert hall and the instrument is her Steinway.
