Mission and Programs
A strong mind. A strong body. And a safe, supportive place to grow. These are things that every child needs - and deserves - to have.
Helping to provide these things is what we do.
By creating, finding and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well being of children, Ronald McDonald House Charities is working to better the lives of children and their families around the world.
To date, RMHC and our global network of local Chapters have awarded more than $400 million dollars in grants worldwide towards our mission to make an immediate and positive impact on as many children as possible. And with support from a global network of more than 180 independent local Chapters in 47 countries - as well as hundreds of thousands of passionate and caring people - we’ve had plenty of success.
But there's more we need to accomplish. So click on a specific program link to find out what we do, how we do it, and more importantly - how you can help.

Paper products (tissue, toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates)
Garbage bags
Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and plastic sandwich bags
Laundry detergent and fabric softener
