Keeping Families Close

When a child is in the hospital, family needs to be close. The Ronald McDonald House in Columbus, Ohio is located directly across the street from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, only steps away. Open 365 days a year, the House helps facilitate the family-centered care that fosters health and well-being for the whole family.

Serving Families from Near and Far

For four decades, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC) has been keeping families close at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. From its beginnings as a grassroots movement established by a partnership between volunteers and local McDonald’s Owner/Operators, the charity has served tens of thousands of families in their deepest times of need.

In addition, RMHC of Central Ohio operates two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms. One is at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, and the other is at the Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Also, RMHC is proud to partner with Nationwide Children’s Hospital to operate a Ronald McDonald Care Mobile.

Start a Routine That Gives Back

As the school year begins, many RMHC families face unique challenges, with some children attending classes from their Ronald McDonald House rooms or balancing schoolwork alongside medical appointments. While one-time donations are impactful, a monthly gift of just $10 helps provide continuous care and comfort to families during tough times. Your support, whether one-time or recurring, ensures these families remain close and supported when they need it most.
