Ronald McDonald House Charities

Did you know that each Ronald McDonald House is essentially self funded? sure, they each get support locally, but the majority of their funds come from their super hard efforts to raise money in their own community. The Ronald McDonald House chapter in Tucson raises the bar big time. The facility is beautiful, clean and the staff is incredibly genuine. The executive team is equally humble and they pour their hearts into this organization. After receiving a tour and seeing how much they offer to families going through an incredibly difficult time and are often displaced and separated from their spouses while their children are receiving medical treatment. It’s so worth while to donate to the house or volunteer to cook meal for the families. I have yet to volunteer a meal and I can wait. This organization is truly amazing– they are providing suffering families the comfort of having some where to sleep, a support system and community to come home to after long days in the hospital. This is not something we stop about on a regular basis, but truly a gift that’s not to be overlooked.

I’ve only been here twice, and both times were with Junior League of Tucson. The first time was with the Chef for a day program, the program is for organizations to come and and make meals for the residents of the house, since a lot of the families who stay there are going through some tough/​difficult medical issues, and are here in Tucson, to get the best care.
The 2^nd visit was today, we took the tour of the house and got see how some of the families live. I must say they don’t have to bad. I would love to stay there, but one I am not in need of medical help, and two you have to at least live 30 miles away from the MCH to qualify. boo…
They are doing a good service for the community I will continue to support their efforts!
