About Us

Keeping families with sick children together and near the care and resources they need.

Since 1983, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston has been a “Home-away-from-home” where families stay while their children undergo extensive medical treatment.

Over the years — and only because of the generosity of donors who have supported our cause — we have evolved. We continue to develop programs to meet families’ needs as they face the medical uncertainty and financial stress of caring for their children.

Today, RMHC Charleston is able to serve 32 families every single night. Here, parents and children lead a life as normal as possible during their traumatic times without the financial burden of costly hotel, meal, and travel expenses. Our home offers these families’ comfortable beds, hot meals, a caring staff, and a four-legged friend, Gardy, all just steps from the hospital.
