The Ronald McDonald House of Delaware provides a temporary residence for families of seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment at area hospitals.

In addition to providing a place to stay, the House offers nurturing and supportive environments where families can be together and find comfort.

Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children – a long time to be away or to divide a family. And, for children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having mom and dad close by for love and support.

Since our doors opened in June 1991, we have welcomed nearly 49,000 families.  In 2018, we served 1,910 families.
