Unifying the efforts of our six houses, a camp, two family rooms and other programs, the Southern California Chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities is committed to creating a community where children and their families embrace life and healing with a sense of hope, enthusiasm, courage and joy.
Ronald McDonald Houses located throughout Southern California help families stay close to their child when they need treatment for a serious medical condition. Our Houses provide a home-like setting, close to the region's top hospitals, where families can stay free-of charge for as long as necessary.
Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times helps children with cancer and their families find hope, healing and a sense of normalcy at our year-round, medically supervised camp facility.
Our Family Rooms provide an oasis for parents and caregivers inside the hospital, giving them a chance to sleep, shower, and connect with other families just steps away from their child’s hospital bed.
Family Support Services (FSS) provides compassionate emotional support, education, and resources to the families and staff of the Ronald McDonald House. We are available to you seven days a week, 24 hours a day, every day of the year even after you leave the house and return home.

Angelica is an eight-year-old girl with a bright smile and an incredible spirit. She and her mom, Miriam, have traveled to Pasadena every year since Angelica was five years so that her doctor can adjust her prosthetics as she grows.
Angelica was born with a shortening of the thigh and will continue to need prosthetics for the rest of her life. With them, she can be more independent and confident that she can achieve everything she sets her mind to do.
"We come from far away, leaving our home to get to Pasadena. At the Ronald McDonald House, they treat us as part of them—they provide help and friendship. Thank you so, so, so much.”
