Ronald McDonald House Fun Facts
There is only one Ronald McDonald House in the state of Maryland.
We are an independent nonprofit organization.
The community of Maryland, including generous individual and corporate donors, provides 100% of our 1.6 million dollar operating budget.
We have been home to more than 35,000 families since our opening on June 28, 1982.
Last year, families throughout the state of Maryland, 45 states and 22 countries sent their families to Maryland’s Ronald McDonald House.
We are an extension of care for six world-renowned Baltimore hospitals: University of Maryland Medical Center; R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center; Johns Hopkins Hospital; The Rubin Institute at Sinai Hospital; Kennedy Krieger Institute and Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital.
Each year, more than 1,400 families arrive at our doorstep in search of hope.
Each night, 36 families share our Home. Last year 1,451 families came through our doors and we provided 13,560 nights of love, compassion and comfort.
We provide care for our families 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our families donate up to $15 per night if they are able.
Our staff consists of 7 full-time and 6 part-time employees.
