What Our Chapter Does

Providing essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.

With the help of our Bay Area community, we help ease the financial and emotional burdens families face as they access critical care for their children. Our Ronald McDonald programs operate inside and nearby our partner hospitals, offering long- and short-term housing, daily meal support, and 24/7 support psychosocial support services, such as child enrichment and sibling care, family activities and recreation, and more.

Family Housing Near the Hospital

Our Ronald McDonald House at Stanford is one of the world’s largest pediatric housing facilities, offering 123 rooms, daily meals, bilingual 24/7 family services, a makerspace, and onsite K–12 school. In 2023, we expanded to Oakland with a 7-bedroom House—just steps from UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital—offering the same comprehensive care and support.

In-Hospital Programs

With the help of volunteers, we provide meals, in-hospital housing and respite, sibling activities, day-use access, and patient bedside visits to bring comfort and care to families, just steps away from their sick child.

Comprehensive Support
