Who We Are

We help families with sick children

The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City (RMHC-KC) is to reduce the burden of childhood illness on children and their families. We accomplish this by:

• Providing comfortable lodging convenient to local health care facilities
• Creating a caring and uplifting environment
• Undertaking resource and fund development activities that support our facilities, programs, and services

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City alleviates the worry and expense of finding a close, comfortable and affordable place for a family to stay while their child receives the medical care they need. That can make a world of difference to a child bravely battling an illness or recovering from a serious injury. It costs RMHC-KC $100 a night to house a family.

We are proud we have served Kansas City families fighting childhood illness since 1981. Please enjoy our 40 year anniversary video, which gives a snapshot of our accomplishments, as well as our 35 year anniversary video, which gives a deeper dive into our history!

While McDonald’s is a founding partner and continues to support us financially, we are not fully funded by the McDonald’s corporation.
