Oakland House Opening & Block Party

Ronald McDonald House Oakland is here! Hundreds of community members gathered for an extraordinary day on Saturday, May 20, 2023, for our Oakland House Opening and Block Party to celebrate the new 7-bedroom Ronald McDonald House, located directly across the street from UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland.

Ronald McDonald House Oakland provides highly specialized housing, meals, and programs to medically vulnerable children and their families to recover together for an average stay of 100 days.
