Additional Business Information
Additional Info
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona (RMHC) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. Our core values are: Focusing on the critical needs of children, celebrating the diversity of our people and programs, valuing our heritage, and operating with accountability and transparency. Fund raising methods include: Direct Mail Appeals, Invitations to Fund Raising Events, Radio, Grant Proposals, Internet, Planned Giving Arrangements, and Cause-Related Marketing.
Program Participation
Our signature program is the Ronald McDonald House (RMH), where families find a "home-away-from-home" when they have to travel to Tucson to receive medical care for their child. We offer a comfortable place to stay, home-cooked meals, toys and games for kids and TLC. We are the only organization in Tucson that meets this need for families.

Last year, the RMH experienced more than 550 family visits. The average length of stay was 10 days but one family from Payson stayed 183 nights. The mom told us they would have lost everything without the Ronald McDonald House. All families stay here at no cost, for as long as they need to.

We also have a Ronald McDonald Family Room at Banner Children's Diamond Children's Medical Center. It's an extension of the RMH, a comfortable place for parents to rest and regroup while their children are in the hospital. We serve approximately 2,000 people a month in our Family Room.

We run a Ronald McDonald Caring Cart at both Diamond Children's and TMC, to offer snacks and toys to children in the hospital, as well as information for the parents about the RMH.

Our Ronald McDonald Care Mobile is another core program of RMHC. The Care Mobile is a partnership with Chiricahua Community Health Centers and will bring dental care to children in Cochise County who otherwise would not have access to a dentist.
