Mission Statement
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Memphis offers children with pediatric cancer and other catastrophic illnesses undergoing treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and their families a nurturing, family-centered residential community. The House fosters an environment of hope through supportive services and child-centered activities that encourage children to be children and keep families together near the care they need with the family they love, always free of charge.
About This Cause
Providing hope while making our families comfortable in an atmosphere of support and care helps reduce the weight carried of their child’s illness. We enable families to focus on the health of their children rather than the burden of worrying about paying bills, cooking meals, or cleaning the House. Families are allowed to support one another and preserve a sense of normalcy with other families who are going thru similar situations. In the late 1990’s St. Jude announced plans for a major expansion and the demand for patient housing increased dramatically. St. Jude officials asked the Ronald McDonald House Board of Directors to consider expanding the RMHC Memphis. Since opening in 1991, RMHC Memphis has housed more than 10,000 families from 35 states and 10 countries. In 2019 we served 305 families, including returning families. Our House occupancy was 93% with several returning multiple times throughout the year.
