Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Central Valley, Inc.

Description

Our House is filled with more than help, it's filled with hope.

Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children - a long time to be away or to divide a family. And, for children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having mom and dad close by for love and support.

Located adjacent to Valley Children’s Hospital, our 22,000 sq. ft. House is a refuge for families with children receiving treatment.

Each night 18 families call our House, their Home. Our House was built with the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child-not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We believe that when a child is hospitalized, the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine prescribed.

There are several ways to volunteer at RMHCCV. We are always in need of front desk volunteers, Happy Wheels volunteers, House helpers and assistance at our three yearly fundraisers. Please visit our website at rmhccv.org/volunteer/ to learn more about each opportunity.
