About Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities:
ARMHC is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to serving the needs of children by providing temporary housing and support services to families of critically ill and injured children being treated at local children’s hospitals. The two Atlanta Houses have provided a home away from home to more than 33,000 families of ill and injured children since the first Atlanta House opened in 1979.
At the Ronald McDonald House families can enjoy many of the comforts of home, receive nutritious meals prepared and served by volunteers, and obtain emotional support through contact with other families experiencing similar situations. No family is turned away if they cannot afford the small $20 requested contribution and many of these families stay at the Ronald McDonald House for weeks, and sometimes months, while their children receive treatment at local children’s hospitals.
