Our Mission

The mission of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Ann Arbor is to provide families of children experiencing a serious illness or injury requiring hospitalization or treatment a “home away from home”, which assists in alleviating the families’ emotional and financial stress.

 

OUR HISTORY

The first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia, PA in 1974. Since then, more than 313 Ronald McDonald Houses have opened in 31 countries around the world, all with a common mission of providing a “home away from home” for the families of hospitalized children.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities Ann Arbor (RMHCAA) has served more than 26,000 families since the Ronald McDonald House in Ann Arbor opened in 1985. Spearheaded by the Junior Service League (now the Junior League of Ann Arbor), the project jointly involved that organization, C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, and the community. Originally able to accommodate 24 families each night, an expansion in 1992 increased that number to 29.  A second House within C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital added another 12 rooms in 2011.  Two additional family guest rooms were constructed in the Main House in 2018, bringing the total number of rooms to 43.

RMHCAA is an independent non-profit organization whose Board of Directors consists of community leaders, employees of the Michigan Medicine, and representatives of the McDonald’s Corporation, its owner-operators, and of Ronald McDonald House Charities. Hundreds of volunteers have provided a great deal of the service to families as well as serving on committees such as House operations, fundraising and special events.
