The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana is to improve the health, well-being and education of children through our three core programs:
Ronald McDonald Houses
The four Ronald McDonald Houses provide a “home away from home” to keep families together while their child is receiving medical treatment far from home. Located near Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital, Children’s Memorial Hospital, Loyola University Medical Center and University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital, the Houses provide comfortable & private rooms, opportunities to bond with other families going through similar situations, and delicious meals prepared by giving volunteers for a suggested donation of $10 per night.Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®
The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program, in partnership with Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital, provides essential health services to children in underserved areas in a mobile environment. Children receive check-ups, immunizations and referrals for specialty care, including asthma, cardiology, and allergies. Our goal is to find a “health care home” for all the children who visit the Care Mobile.Scholarship Program
Now in its fourth year, the RMHC-CNI Scholarship Program, supported by Fifth Third Bank, provides $4,000/year renewable scholarships to academically outstanding, community-minded and economically challenged young people. Winners are selected each spring by RMHC-CNI’s Education Advisory Committee, and since 2006, we have awarded a total of 62 scholarships to high school seniors. The scholarships are renewable for four years contingent upon the student fulfilling G.P.A. and community service requirements.(**From http://www.rmhccni.org/)
