Mission

The Ronald McDonald House of Durham allows families to focus on the health and well being of their critically ill children by keeping families together who are in need of a community of hope, comfort and empathy.

What We Do

Since 1980, the Ronald McDonald House of Durham has provided temporary housing to families who are traveling great distances to care for their critically ill children. Our programs provide families with the comforts of home –private bedrooms, inviting community spaces, daily home-cooked meals and stocked kitchen, a play room, computer room and laundry facilities – as well as a network of support through interactions with other families, staff and volunteers.

Families with critically ill children face immense emotional, physical and financial challenges; knowing that Ronald McDonald House of Durham will be there to support them in a safe and caring environment helps to alleviate some these challenges.
