Our New Home
For nearly 30 years, the Ronald McDonald House
of Central New York has helped thousands of families
to ensure that their children were never alone
when battling illness. Today, the need for our assistance
is rapidly growing and while our hearts always
have room for more, our house doesn’t. Help us
build a new, larger Ronald McDonald house by donating today.

Our Story
When parents are told that their child is seriously ill, life stops. The routine of daily tasks is interrupted by travel to distant cities for the best medical care. Dinners may come from hospital cafeterias or vending machines. The comforts of home are traded for sleeping in chairs near the bedside of a sick child unless there is a Ronald McDonald House nearby.
We are called "The House That Love Built." Our Central New York Ronald McDonald House opened its doors on Thanksgiving Day in 1982 through the grass roots efforts of parents, medical professionals, community business leaders, and individuals. Since that time, we have been a home away from home to more than 17,000 families whose children are seriously ill or injured. We have hosted children, parents, siblings, and grandparents from 48 counties across New York State, 45 other U.S. states, and numerous foreign countries. The Ronald McDonald House is open 24 hours a day, year round
