About Us |
|
Louisville’s Ronald McDonald House opened on September 10, 1984 and has served over 20,000 families. We provide a home away from home for families of seriously ill children receiving healthcare in Louisville. We offer love, strength and support, just when families need it most.
The mission of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana is to provide a “home away from home” for families of children receiving healthcare at area medical facilities while also lending support to other organizations who aid children. |
