The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois helps families with sick children stay close to each other and the care they and resources they need, when they need it most. The Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Rooms help remove the barriers that separate families while they receive treatment for a critically ill or injured child. We’re more than just a place to stay—our House and Family Rooms provide the essential comforts of home: warm beds, hot showers, home-cooked meals, kitchen and laundry facilities, a playground, recreation areas, and more.
