About Us

At Ronald McDonald House Charleston, we believe that when a child needs medical care, their family should be able to stay together. Since opening our doors in 1983, we have welcomed families, providing a place to stay, meals, resources, and a community of support during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Today, with the support of our donors, volunteers, business partners, and community, we continue to grow so that every family stay is more than a room for a night – it’s a place for families to be together, find comfort, and focus on what matters most: their child.

Our Mission

We provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.
