Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Four States Background

Ronald McDonald House Charities provides families with the only worldwide service of its kind with 386 Ronald McDonald Houses in forty-nine countries and regions around the world, 269 Family Rooms in 28 countries and regions and 40 Care Mobiles in 10 countries. The Charity’s mission is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. The vision is a world where all children have access to medical care and their families are supported and actively involved in their child’s care.

The first Ronald McDonald House was opened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1974 when members of the Philadelphia Eagles football team rallied around their teammate Fred Hill, whose daughter had leukemia.  The Eagles partnered with McDonald’s to build the first Ronald McDonald House in 1974.

The Ronald McDonald Family Room opened in Kansas City, MO in 1972 and is the fastest growing program in the system.

In August 1996, Bob and Libby Jennings, McDonald owner/operators made an application and received permission and licensing for an 8-bedroom Ronald McDonald House in Joplin, MO. In November 2017 the Charity opened the doors of the Ronald McDonald Family Room located inside Mercy Hospital.
