Project Overview

On any given night, up to 24 families of seriously-ill children are staying at Springfield’s two Ronald McDonald Houses.  The Ronald McDonald House near Cox South Hospital has 14 bedrooms and has been welcoming families for nearly 33 years; and the 10-bedroom Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Kids has been helping families for 8 years.  In a typical year, more than 800 families found a “home-away-from-home”, hope and comfort at Springfield’s Ronald McDonald Houses, including those receiving daytime-only accommodations.  Thanks to the generosity of the Ozarks, our families receive home-cooked meals through the organization’s Family Dinner Program, laundry facilities, transportation to hospitals, and support from volunteers and staff who truly care. The most needed and appreciated benefit is shared between families as they encourage one another and share a true understanding of having an ill or injured child.
