Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth

Fort Worth, TX, US • 20 - 49 Employees
Non-Profit

The Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth offers a supportive, home-like community that eases burdens for seriously ill children and their families. Since 1981, when the House was established in a stately historic mansion with 11 bedrooms, we have been a place where families can be together to aid the healing process of their sick child or sibling. In 1996, the House relocated just a block from Cook Children's Medical Center and Harris Methodist Hospital. The new facility could house 20 families but as the area hospitals expanded so did the need for more rooms at the House. In 2004, the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth celebrated the grand opening of an 18-room expansion, allowing the House to serve 38 families each night. In addition, a Ronald McDonald Family Room was opened inside Cook Children's Medical Center, to serve children and families while they are at the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth opened its latest 20-bedroom expansion in August 2013.For some, the Ronald McDonald House is a place to catch a few hours of sleep after an all-night bedside vigil. For others, it's a hot meal and a chance to visit with those who are facing similar challenges. For all families or seriously ill or injured children, the House is a place that provides the comforts of home, and offers respite and strength during a difficult time.
