The Ronald McDonald House Mission Statement:

The Ronald McDonald House is here to serve and sustain families when catastrophe strikes the most cherished part of their lives - their children. We provide a temporary home away from home for these families whose children are receiving treatment for an illness at a Springfield medical facility. In an effort to reduce stress, keep the family intact, and enhance the quality of life for families, our house provides a caring, home like atmosphere for our guests. The Ronald McDonald House provides its services regardless of race, sex, creed, or national origin.

History of Ronald McDonald House in Central Illinois:

The Springfield Ronald McDonald House opened its doors in February 1986.

Located in the heart of Springfield's medical community, we've provided more than 10,000 families with a convenient "home away from home" while their children are hospitalized. We're here to offer a good night's sleep, a hot meal, and everything needed to keep the parents' lives as simple as possible while they tend to the important task at hand: devoting all of their love and support to helping their child get well.
