This past year, we welcomed more families than ever who needed a place to stay while their child received medical or mental health care in Grand Rapids. For those traveling 30 miles or more, the Ronald McDonald House is a place to rest, share a meal, and find support during times of uncertainty.
As the need for our services grows, so does our promise: to keep families close, comforted, and cared for when it matters most.
Our partnership with McDonald’s, our founding and forever mission partner, continues to make a real difference for families. While we don’t receive direct funding from McDonald’s Corporation, the generosity of local Owner/Operators and their customers brings comfort and care to families every day. From Round-Up to seasonal campaigns like the Shamrock Shake, these efforts help provide the support families need while their child is in the hospital.
Thanks to our volunteers and donors, families have a place to relax after long hospital days, enjoy a homecooked meal, or share a quiet moment together. Whether it’s folding laundry, serving dinner, or offering a listening ear, our community helps ease the stress that comes with caring for a sick child.
