What We Do
Ronald McDonald Family Room®
Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Bluegrass has expanded, this time to the fourth floor of Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The brand new Ronald McDonald House Family Room provides an area of respite and relaxation for families of children being cared for in the critical care units at the hospital.
Since opening in January 2009, the Room has hosted over 13,000 guests.
The room offers several seating areas for private conversation and quiet reflection, complimentary snacks and coffee, as well as personal-use entertainment electronic devices (DVD and CD players).
These amenities — which have been provided through leadership contributions from McDonald’s of Central and Southeastern Kentucky with matching funds from RMHC Global — allows guests to take a break and a brief moment of escape from the stress of their situation. What truly makes the Ronald McDonald House Family Room special are the volunteers who staff the room and provide a welcoming atmosphere for families who find themselves there.
Please consider helping families at the Ronald McDonald Family Room® by becoming a volunteer or donating items from the Family Room Wish List.
