Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois' mission is to provide a supportive place for families to stay while their child is receiving medical care, and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. So far in 2023 we have served over 350 families for over 6,500 nights between our Springfield and Peoria houses. Families receive a private room and bathroom, laundry services, meals, snacks, and support when they stay with us. We never ask families to pay, therefore support from our donors, partners, and friends are critical for us to serve families.
