children and their families. The first Ronald McDonald House opened in

The mission of the RMHC is to provide a comfortable and supportive living

environment for families with seriously ill or injured children who are

undergoing treatment, at little to no cost. They believe that the love and

support of a family is as powerful as the strongest medicine, and no family

should worry about where they will stay or get their next meal while focusing

on the health of their child.

The charity is independently operated by a local board of trustees and relies

heavily on the help of volunteers. Opportunities for volunteers include

welcoming guests, hosting house tours, administrative tasks, and helping with

special events.

The organization has grown significantly since its inception, with over 310

houses worldwide providing support for more than 6,000 families each night.

Despite its global reach, RMHC of South Florida maintains its local roots,

serving the community from its location at the Jackson Memorial Medical

Center in Miami. The charity continues to seek support from the community,

through donations and volunteer work, to help fulfill its mission.
