The mission of the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill is to provide a "home-away-from-home" for families of seriously ill or injured children who must travel from across North Carolina and beyond for specialized medical treatment at area hospitals. Since opening in 1988, the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill has served more than 40,000 families. In addition to safe and supportive accommodations in close proximity to UNC Children's Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill provides a comprehensive mix of creative and participatory services designed to actively engage all family members, create a community of support, and ease everyday burdens so families can focus on what matters most – the health and well-being of their children.
