The Community

The Ronald McDonald House is a gift from the Maryland community.
It reflects the very best of who we are and what we have to share.

We count on a wide range of community groups whose cumulative efforts directly empower our work. They express their desire to help our children in a myriad of ways, from recycling pull-tabs for us to pulling rabbits from hats…and everything in between.

In June of 2004, a great dream came true for the children (and staff!) of the Baltimore Ronald McDonald House. This month marked the opening of a brand-new, wheelchair-accessible playground behind our House. It is a testament to the generosity of this community that all of the funding for our magnificent new playground was secured by the day of its official opening.

Our beautiful new playground!
