Ronald McDonald House Washington DC

Ronald McDonald House® Washington DC keeps families close when a child is hospitalized. 

For more than 45 years, our two Houses have eased the financial, emotional and practical strain of a medical crisis by providing a home-away-from-home just steps from the care a child needs. Families find rest, meals and a supportive community — plus the everyday basics that matter most in long treatment seasons: a place to breathe, do laundry, care for siblings and feel human again. Our support also extends beyond our walls, helping families navigate treatment wherever they are. 

The need is constant — and support from our community — forever families, volunteers, donors, partners, sponsors and staff — is what makes it possible for families to stay close.
