At the Ronald McDonald House, our mission is to provide a home-away-from-home to families of seriously ill children and support to organizations that serve the needs of children. St. Louis' three Ronald McDonald Houses are located on West Pine Blvd. in the Central West End near St. Louis Children's Hospital, on Park Ave. near SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, and in Creve Coeur on the campus of Mercy Children's Hospital. Our Houses are built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child - not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We allow families to face the weight of illness together and to focus on the health of their child, rather than grocery shopping, cleaning or cooking meals.
