Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Chattanooga

Many families with critically ill children struggle to find affordable, comfortable lodging near the hospital where their child is receiving treatment. This added stress can make an already difficult situation even harder to bear.

Imagine being a parent of a critically ill child, with mounting medical bills, and worrying about where you and your family will sleep at night, what you’ll eat for dinner, and wondering if your child will recover from their illness. You’re exhausted from days and nights spent at the hospital, but you can’t afford a hotel room close to the hospital. You’re left with the added burden of commuting back and forth during this already difficult time.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Chattanooga offers families a comfortable home-away-from-home during their child’s medical treatment. And the best part is, the services are free to families.

Whether it’s providing support, companionship and a helping hand to families during their stay, serving visitors and guests at the front desk, receiving donations, answering phone calls, assisting with nightly meals , or more, volunteers are essentials to fulfilling the mission of RMHC. By volunteering at RMHC, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of families going through one of the toughest times of their lives. Join us in giving families a place to call home while their child receives the medical treatment they need.
