Our Vision

A world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes to their children.n

Ronald McDonald House

Many families travel far from home to get the specialized medical treatment they need for their seriously ill or injured children. The treatment may last a day, a month, or even longer. It’s a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family. For children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having their mom and dad close by for love and support.

Supporting families since 1983

Thanks to a collaboration between the Mid-Kansas McDonald’s Co-op members, the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, and the Wichita Junior League, our very first Ronald McDonald House—Sleepy Hollow—opened its doors with just 10 bedrooms.

Today, that legacy has grown into a 20-bedroom House located right across from the hospital, continuing our mission to keep families close when they need it most. ❤️

Ronald McDonald House Family Room

Our Family Room is located inside Wesley Children’s Hospital in Building 1 on the 5th Floor. This is a place of respite and is just steps away from your child’s hospital bed.

When you get involved, families everywhere benefit.

In 2025, we were able to provide over 7,700 overnight stays, helping families save $ million in lodging and meal expenses

Our House is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when family needs to focus on the health of their child. They should not have to worry about where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. Families are invited to stay at our House for free, removing a major barrier for those who struggle to find alternative housing.

With your generosity, we can continue to help thousands of families that come to Wichita for their Childs medical care
