What We Do - Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth

What We Do

We believe when a child is sick, the entire family needs comfort and support and should be fully involved with health care providers about the care and services their child receives.

More than a place to stay

The Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth (RMHFW) provides a supportive, home-like community that eases burdens for seriously ill children and their families. Our vision is to reach all families in need of our services. Through our 55,000 square foot Ronald McDonald House, the Ronald McDonald Family Room located inside Cook Children’s Medical Center, the Day Program, and Hospitality Carts used at Cook Children’s Medical Center and Baylor Scott & White All Saints, we strive to provide a sense of normalcy during an otherwise stressful time.

Helping a sick child fight illness takes a big enough emotional toll on a family. Adding a financial strain can make it all almost too much to bear. RMHFW can help address those problems, whether they involve housing that’s near a hospitalized child, feeding a family that has been bedside all day, cutting the hair of mom who hasn’t been home in days or weeks, letting big brother or little sister visit our toy closet on birthdays, or even just washing clothes without having to worry with finding a laundromat.

House

The Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth is a “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost.

Family Room

When families walk into a Ronald McDonald Family Room, we want them to forget they’re in a hospital.

Day Program

The Day Program at the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth provides a restful place away from the hospital for families not currently staying at the House.

Hospitality Cart

Located inside area hospitals, hospitality carts offer a variety of items to visitors.
