About Us

 

BE A FRIEND.  BECOME A MEMBER.

Over 30 years of love and care for families.  Each and every day, the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House is filled with families from around the world whose seriously ill children are being treated at the area's top pediatric hospitals.  The Chestnut Street and Front & Erie Houses provide these families with shelter, food, transportation, laundry facilities, emotional support, and an array of other services.  We handle the details of every day life so parents may focus entirely on the needs of their children. 

A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO CARES.

Please support the Friends of the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House Annual Membership Drive.  Help us to continue initiative such as:

  • Our annual grant towards the Houses' operating expenses.
  • The Friends Family Emergency Fund which helps families cover out of pocket expenses during their stay.
  • The Celebration of H.O.P.E Scholarship Award that allows children who have struggled with illness to pursue opportunities for personal achievement.
  • Our annual grant to the expenses of the Ronald McDonald Family Room on the Cardiac Center of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.  The Family Room provides amenities and support to the many families whose children's critical condition requires the parent(s) to stay in the hospital.
