Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida provides temporary housing, basic amenities, and support to families with children receiving treatment at the Children’s Hospital. Our House is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal, or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We believe that when a child is hospitalized, the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine prescribed. Here in Gainesville, we have 50 guest suites that are in use 24/7, all to help keep families close to their seriously ill child in a time of need. These rooms are kept open with the support of our amazing community - YOU!
