How You Can Help

Supporters of Ronald McDonald House of Durham allow families to focus on the health and well being of their critically ill children by keeping families together who are in need of a community of hope, comfort, and empathy.  This year, we anticipate hosting over 1,200 family visits to our House and over 20,000 visits to our Family Room in Duke Medical Center at a cost of over $1 million.  Thanks to the generosity of thousands of donors and volunteers from across the Triangle, North Carolina and the U.S., our House is able to provide essential services at low or no cost to our families.
