Ronald McDonald House of Dallas supports the health and well-being of seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment in the Dallas area by providing them and their families a home-away-from-home.



About Ronald McDonald House of Dallas


With approximately 60,000 square feet, the House offers 52 private bedrooms and six transplant apartments. Additionally, the House contains multiple playrooms for kids of all ages and interests, a library, media room, craft room, chapel, meditation garden, and outdoor play areas. Two large communal kitchens and dining room provide opportunities for the families to share meals, which are provided 3 times a day by community volunteers, or to prepare their own food if they choose.
Hundreds of volunteers support RMHD’s annual operations and fundraising activities by serving
families at the House, preparing meals, and hosting organized activities. In 2015, over 14,500 volunteer hours were donated equaling a value of $339,936.
