The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities^® of Central New York is to create, identify, and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children and families in Central New York and Northern Pennsylvania.

Families are stronger when they are together, and their presence helps a sick child heal faster and cope better. While we cannot make medicine taste better or take away painful treatments, we can help lessen the burden and ensure families have the stability and resources to get and keep their child healthy and happy. Last year, nearly 400 families found respite at the CNY Ronald McDonald House for a combined total of 3,400 guest night stays, all because of the love and generous donations of our donors and volunteers.
