Millions
of families supported globally
90% of top children’s hospitals around the world are home to at least one RMHC core program.
Despite tremendous challenges in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) continued to support local Chapters as they served their local communities to the best of their abilities.
RMHC provided ongoing assistance to Chapters around the world as they repurposed Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile programs that were no longer serving families to support those on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Growing globally to serve more families
In 2020, we continued to expand our programs to fulfill the unmet needs of families around the world. Systemwide, 6 new Ronald McDonald House programs opened and 9 House programs increased sleeping rooms. 5 new Ronald McDonald Family Room programs opened.
In 2020, 136,000+ volunteers dedicate their time and talent around the world, allowing Chapters to direct more donation dollars to other areas of programming that support families and children.
You can give the gift of togetherness and help support more families around the world when you start a fundraiser.

Our global offerings support local needs
Some RMHC programs are locally tailored to make a measurable difference in the lives of families and children. A sample of these additional programs include:
Children treated in Australia
For thousands of children in Australia who are treated for serious illnesses, the impact of hospitalization, medications, and lengthy convalescence means that many fall behind in their studies. This program helps children catch up on their learning, helping them reach their full potential.
Learning centers in the Philippines
Accredited social workers and community volunteers facilitate lessons and group activities for the children to learn basic skills through fun and engaging activities. Learning centers are built in areas where they are most needed through a partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development and local government units. To date there are 32 active learning centers throughout the Philippines.

Hosts a range of services and programs for children and teens with learning or social challenges and their families. The Learning Centre features:
• A safe and therapeutic learning environment for children

Family cabins in Norway
In collaboration with the Stine Sofie Foundation, Norway is home to an innovative coping center for children who have experienced violence and abuse. Children and safe family members or safe caregivers stay together in five residential Ronald McDonald Family Cabins while receiving education to strengthen relationships and develop skills that contribute to more resilience in everyday life. Since 2016, the Ronald McDonald Family Cabins have accommodated over 700 of children + families houses in Norway.
