About RMHCAA:
Since 1985, Ronald McDonald House Charities Ann Arbor (RMHCAA) has stood as a home away from home for families facing the unimaginable — a child in medical crisis. Ronald McDonald House Charities Ann Arbor has served more than 32,000 families since opening their doors in 1985. Spearheaded by the Junior Service League (now the Junior League of Ann Arbor), the project was a collaborative effort with Michigan Medicine C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, and the community. Originally able to accommodate 24 families each night, an expansion in 1992 increased that number to 29. A second House built on the 10th floor of C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital added another 12 rooms in 2011. Two additional family guest rooms were constructed in the Main House in 2018, bringing the total number of rooms to 43. Those two Houses make RMHCAA the largest Ronald McDonald House Charities Chapter in Michigan.
