Every year, thousands of children and families travel to Madison for care. Through our Ronald McDonald House® and Ronald McDonald House Family Room® programs, we have been by their side since 1993, providing a caring and compassionate environment where families can rest and find support while remaining close to their child.
In addition, our Ronald McDonald House Care Mobile program provides medical care to children in underserved areas throughout Northern Illinois.
We provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.
A world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.

For more than three decades, Ronald McDonald House Madison has helped 60,000+ families stay together with their ill or injured children.
Our House opened its doors in 1993 to provide a “home-away-from-home” for families traveling to Madison for their child’s medical care. Over the years, the House has expanded to meet growing needs, and in 2019, a major renovation allowed us to serve even more families. Today, the House offers lodging, home-cooked meals, laundry facilities, welcoming community spaces, and a supportive environment for up to 31 families each night – and when the House is full, additional families stay at nearby hotels, allowing them to focus on their child’s health without the added stress of finding accommodations.
