The Delaware Ronald McDonald House provides a temporary residence for families of seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment at area hospitals.
In addition to providing a place to stay, the House offers nurturing and supportive environments where families can be together and find comfort.
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 family close by for love and support.
We also operate two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms at local hospitals.
Meals that gather families together. Families staying at the House receive a warm, community meal every evening through our Spoonful of Hope Chef-Led Meal Program. Prepared with care and culinary expertise, these dinners provide nourishment, shared moments around the table, and a welcome break from hospital cafeteria meals. In addition to dinner, families have access to stocked kitchens with pantry staples, daily breakfast items, coffee and tea, and leftover meal options for lunch, ensuring nourishing food is available whenever they need it. Because food is comfort, strength, and connection.
